Wanted - Netherlands - Distributed power supply

Possibility sought for charging electrical equipment on construction sites

Dutch infrastructure company is looking for decentralized power supplies to charge its electrical devices on construction sites

Details: By switching to electrical devices, a Dutch construction company now has to meet an ever-increasing energy demand. Therefore, they are looking for partners to jointly buy or develop a flexible energy supplier or generator without emissions. Therefore, the company is looking for power connections of more than 125 KW on the new emission-free construction site. They offer to act as an introductory customer and can also check with the supplier whether the application is suitable for the construction site. In the context of the energy transition, sustainable decentralized energy concepts play a major role. Current energy infrastructure and legislation are not geared toward distributed, temporary generation, which means that each installation requires a separate "permit," which is too complex and expensive for small, short projects. The company has many large and small projects across the country with energy needs and is looking to electrify its equipment fleet, but lacks the practical solutions for distributed generation and storage with sufficient capacity and flexibility. The equipment fleet is mainly charged during break times and after 4:00 pm. This means that the company is actually looking for sustainable generators with a built-in battery that can generate electricity continuously or during the day and store it to charge the equipment mainly in the evenings and at night.

Wanted partners/notes: Collaboration could be under a commercial technical assistance agreement or a technical cooperation agreement, but other cooperation agreements could also be discussed later.  IMPORTANT: This technology request is for an innovation challenge posted on an open internet platform. If an organization expresses interest before the application deadline, it will be directed to this open innovation platform.
