  • Digital ‘safety net’ paves way for electric car charging without overloading power grid

    A new dig­i­tal ‘safe­ty net’ devel­oped in the SmoothEMS project enables effi­cient local charg­ing of elec­tric vehi­cles with­out over­load­ing the grid. Test­ed at three loca­tions, includ­ing a.s.r. in Utrecht, it com­bines a user-friend­ly ener­gy man­age­ment sys­tem with Grid­shield soft­ware, ensur­ing safe elec­tric­i­ty deliv­ery and pre­vent­ing over­load.

  • Suddenly Europe mainly invests in Dutch start-ups

    Euro­pean invest­ments in Dutch start-ups surged in 2024, with 3.1 bil­lion euros in ven­ture cap­i­tal despite broad­er Euro­pean down­turns. How­ev­er, the scale-up ratio remains low, and domes­tic invest­ments fell sharply. Notable high­lights include strong deeptech growth, but con­cerns about stag­na­tion and com­pet­i­tive abil­i­ty per­sist. The ecosystem’s growth chal­lenges require imme­di­ate atten­tion.

  • Yotta Energy Transforms Commercial Solar With Innovative Yotta Block Storage Solution

    Yot­ta Ener­gy launched Yot­ta Block, a rebrand­ed and advanced ver­sion of Solar­LEAF. It replaces stan­dard bal­last blocks and inte­grates behind PV mod­ules, sim­pli­fy­ing solar-plus-stor­age design and instal­la­tion. It’s mod­u­lar, scal­able, and uni­ver­sal­ly com­pat­i­ble, address­ing key chal­lenges in com­mer­cial solar adoption.Source: https://solarquarter.com/2025/02/23/yotta-energy-transforms-commercial-solar-with-innovative-yotta-block-storage-solution/
