There is plenty of energy available. The challenge is to use it more dynamically and store it more smartly. Even before “energy transition” became common, The Sharing Group was already working on crucial innovations. With EnergyZero we opened the market for dynamic energy contracts, and with Hegg Energy we introduced the first affordable home battery model.
What once seemed like a global challenge is now visible at local level. Grid congestion is stopping new businesses from connecting and construction projects from moving forward. That’s why we help local governments and developers work with grid operators to implement smarter solutions: more dynamic energy use and innovative storage in shared cars, home batteries and neighbourhood batteries.
Our vision for energy is perfectly illustrated in our first People’s Power Plant, coming to life in Utrecht in 2025. After years of testing and collaboration, we now use MyWheels cars as mobile neighbourhood batteries. Journalists and experts worldwide are watching how vehicle-to-grid technology from We Drive Solar and Renault helps Utrecht fight grid congestion. Results are promising and other cities are showing interest.
We Drive Solar has years of experience in charging and unloading (shared) cars and uses this knowledge to make the largest electric shared car fleet in the Netherlands accessible as storage capacity for a sustainable electricity supply.
