The Flex-E scheme was amended in several respects in 2026:

  • Applications by location: Previously, only one application per organization was allowed. Now, each location can submit an application separately.
  • Low-voltage connections: Organizations with a connection of 100 kW or more are now also eligible.
  • Budget: Any unused funds from the flexibility assessment can be allocated to other components, such as the feasibility study or flexibility measures.
  • Congestion Management Contract: This contract remains mandatory for measures of 100 kW or more.

These changes make the program more accessible and flexible for organizations.
