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 Flexibility scan (in Dutch) to help you find out how you can use electricity more flexibly
• 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)
• Conditions for implementing the Flex-e flexibility measures (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.
