Our story

We facilitate local energy markets

Our mission is to set the standard in facilitating local electricity trading. In doing so, we enable parties to easily form local energy markets in which generation is consumed as much as possible when it is generated locally. This allows better utilization of the grid.

Our mission Our platform

The energy system is transforming

From extensive production processes to something as ordinary as keeping the lights on. In the world we live in, energy has long been indispensable. But energy sources are changing, energy systems are decentralizing and our society is electrifying.

The impact on the power grid is significant

However, the current power grid is not designed for these changes. For grid companies, this poses a significant challenge. Despite maximum efforts to expand infrastructure, the grid is coming under increasing pressure. Therefore, innovative solutions are needed to better utilize existing capacity and accelerate the energy transition.

This requires local optimization and flexibility

To make better use of the grid, there is a need to optimize energy supply more locally and make flexibility easier to access. This requires low-threshold market access, where more parties become market participants and can actively contribute to the energy system. In addition, more local cooperation is needed, where parties can easily exchange energy with each other and form local energy markets together.

Smart energy sharing for energy communities

Energy sharing is on the rise. But what exactly is this? And what then is smart energy sharing? In this webinar, we discuss with experts what energy sharing means and how it can contribute to a more sustainable and efficient energy system.

A smart platform as a solution

At ENTRNCE, we have developed a digital platform in close cooperation with market participants and our customers. With this, we facilitate the creation and functioning of local energy markets. For example, participants can easily trade peer-to-peer local renewable energy, create their own local energy exchange and gain access to various electricity markets.

Our platform for local electricity trading

We do this together

Cooperation with market players and end users is essential in creating a smart, efficient and sustainable energy system. This is why ENTRNCE has several collaborations underway in which new solutions for the energy market are being conceived and developed. We also invite other parties to explore initiatives with us.

Our mission

How we work together

Our mission is to set the standard in facilitating local electricity trading. In doing so, we enable parties to consume local generation as much as possible at times when it is available locally. By facilitating the matching of generation and consumption, both geographically and in time, better use is made of the available capacity on the electricity grid. Electricity then does not have to be transported over longer distances.

ENTRNCE's impact on the energy sector.

Rob van der Horst

Director | Alliander Next Grid

"We see that ENTRNCE's role will only become more important in the coming years. From Alliander Next Grid, our goal is to grow ENTRNCE into the standard in local electricity trading for local energy markets in the Netherlands. A platform that not only contributes to solving grid congestion, but also plays an essential role in accelerating the energy transition in a cost-efficient way."

Stefan Koppers

CEO | ENTRNCE

"We need to make smart use of existing infrastructure. We simply cannot build new cables fast enough to keep up with the pace of energy transition. ENTRNCE makes it possible to better match supply and demand locally. By consuming electricity as much as possible directly where it is generated, we ensure more efficient use of the existing grid."
