Is grid congestion preventing you from growing or becoming more sustainable? Starting in May 2026, you’ll once again be able to apply for the Flex-E grant through the RVO to help you achieve a more flexible energy supply. This will allow you to invest in solutions that enable smarter electricity management within your existing grid connection. Repowered can handle the entire grant application process for you.

Who is it for?
This subsidy program for flexible electricity consumption is intended for organizations with a contracted transmission capacity of 100 kW or more*.
Starting in 2026, businesses with a low-voltage connection of 100 kW or more will also be eligible. In addition, organizations can submit a grant application for each location.
*The maximum amount of electricity you are allowed to draw from your grid connection.
Grid congestion is becoming an increasingly significant challenge for many organizations. Grid congestion leads to transmission capacity constraints on the power grid, creating a “backup” with long wait times for new connections. Furthermore, expanding an existing grid connection is often not possible. As a result, plans for growth, electrification, or sustainability initiatives get stalled. By gaining insight into the flexibility of your energy consumption, you can often achieve more within your existing connection than initially anticipated.
This way, you can work toward an affordable, scalable, and sustainable energy supply, ensuring your organization remains future-proof.
What is it?
The Flex-E program supports companies in exploring and implementing flexible energy solutions. The grant consists of three components:
Flexibility Assessment
An initial analysis of your organization’s energy consumption and grid connection. The scan identifies opportunities for flexible electricity use.
Feasibility Study
A detailed technical, energy, and financial analysis of promising solutions. This results in a conceptual design and an implementation plan.
Flexibility measures
Are you convinced by these solutions? If so, you can receive a grant to help fund investments in measures that ensure a more flexible energy supply.
How it works
Applications for the grant can be submitted starting in early May 2026. Under the Flex-E program, the RVO subsidizes a portion of the costs:
Starting in 2026, any remaining budget from the flexibility scan can be allocated to other areas, such as the feasibility study or flexibility measures.
An affordable, scalable, and sustainable energy supply
Learning about grants and applying for them can be quite a challenge. It takes time and requires a solid understanding of regulations and procedures. That’s why we’re happy to handle the process for you.
Together with our grant partner, we guide you through the entire process:
This will give you a quick overview of what energy flexibility can do for your organization. If the grant seems like a good fit, we’ll handle the application and help you with the next steps.
Feel free to get to know us! We’d be happy to help you.
To qualify for a grant, the RVO expects a flexibility scan and feasibility study to include, among other things, the following points:
In addition to the points mentioned above, the following additional considerations apply to the feasibility study:
Tip: Repowered has extensive experience in analyzing these components and providing clear insights, and ensures that your application is well-founded.
The Flex-E scheme was amended in several respects in 2026:
These changes make the program more accessible and flexible for organizations.
