Subsidy for flexible power consumption (Flex-e)
Does insufficient capacity on the electricity grid (grid congestion) prevent you from growing your business or from making it more sustainable? The Flex-e subsidy helps you find and take workarounds that allow your business to grow or become more sustainable.
The Flex-e-subsidy consists of 3 parts:
- a Feasibility study (in Dutch) to help you find out which measures are financially and technically feasible
- Flexibility measures (in Dutch) to help you invest in measures to make your energy use more flexible
When do you qualify for the Flex-e subsidy?
The Flex-e subsidy is for businesses that use electricity in bulk (grootverbruikers). You are a bulk consumer if your contract allows you to purchase 100 kW or more. You must submit a separate application for the Flex-e subsidy for each branch of your company. You can only apply for Flex-e for business locations that are established in areas with problems due to grid congestion.
You must meet all conditions specific to the subsidy you apply for:
- Conditions for the Flex-e flexibility scan (in Dutch)
- Conditions for the Flex-e feasibility study (in Dutch)
How to apply for the Flex-e subsidy?
You can apply for the Flex-e-subsidy with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) (in Dutch) from 1 April until 15 October 2025, 17:00 hour.
