Boosting capacity with TGN Grid: Overcoming grid limitations 

Introduction  

Many businesses face a common challenge: insufficient grid capacity to support growth. Whether it’s adding new machinery, expanding production, electrification of processes or introducing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, grid limitations can stifle sustainable progress. This issue is particularly pressing for industries that experience spikes in energy demand during peak hours or seasons. 

How TGN Energy can help 

At TGN Energy, we offer a comprehensive solution that helps businesses unlock their full potential without needing costly grid upgrades. Our flagship solution, TGN Grid, combines battery energy storage and solar power with smart energy management to optimize electricity flow. Here’s how it works: 

1. Balancing Load Peaks with Battery Storage One of the biggest challenges with limited grid capacity is managing peak energy demand. Batteries integrated within TGN Grid can store excess solar energy or cheap off-peak electricity and release it when demand spikes. This “peak shaving” prevents high electricity draw from the grid during critical times, significantly reducing demand charges and easing strain on local infrastructure. For businesses expanding their operations or installing new equipment, battery systems can act as a buffer, enabling them to maintain smooth operations without exceeding grid limitations. 
2. Avoiding Long Grid Expansion Delays For many businesses, the real obstacle to expansion isn’t just the cost of grid upgrades, but the extensive time required for regulatory approvals and infrastructure changes. Grid expansion projects can take several years due to complex permitting, regulatory reviews, and infrastructure planning. With TGN Grid, businesses can sidestep these delays by using battery storage and local solar generation to manage their energy needs. This allows companies to proceed with expansion plans without waiting for time-consuming grid upgrades, ensuring faster scalability and greater operational flexibility, with minimal environmental impact. 
3. Local Grid Strengthening with Solar Power By installing solar panels, companies can generate their own electricity, reducing their reliance on the grid. During high-demand periods, such as summer months when cooling systems and refrigerated warehouses operate at full capacity, solar energy provides much-needed relief. The combination of solar power and batteries not only supplies energy but also increases resilience by ensuring that businesses have access to a local electricity supply, even when the grid is under pressure. 
4. Integrated Energy Management for Flexibility TGN Grid includes intelligent control systems, such as TGN FlexControl, which manage energy loads in real time. By optimizing energy usage based on market conditions and grid availability, businesses can shift non-essential activities to off-peak hours, reducing strain on the grid while lowering operational costs. 

The Business Impact 

By adopting TGN Grid, businesses can expand their operations, add new equipment, and introduce EV charging stations without worrying about grid constraints. Our solutions help you: 

• Avoid expensive grid upgrades or expansion fees. 

• Sidestep lengthy grid expansion approval processes. 

• Manage peak energy demand effectively, reducing costs. 

• Enhance operational flexibility and energy independence. 

With TGN Energy’s expertise, we ensure that businesses not only overcome grid limitations but also achieve sustainability goals. Our solutions are tailored to deliver long-term financial benefits by optimizing electricity use, reducing reliance on external power, and ensuring energy availability at all times.
