For governments
We help make neighbourhoods sustainable, solve parking problems and ease grid congestion with solutions that can be applied immediately.
Keeping the city alive and moving
Let’s work together to keep our cities from grinding to a halt. To avoid a future where no new homes can be built, where businesses can’t go green, and where we’re left waiting for grid upgrades. We need solutions that fit within today’s laws and regulations and that can be put into action tomorrow.
Time to rethink?
What if we could turn the challenge of grid congestion into part of the solution? What if it encouraged businesses, consumers, and all of us to adapt our behavior, opening up new perspectives in the process? In our People’s Power Plant, we already see the pieces of this puzzle coming together. And it shows us that acceleration is possible.
Governments solutions
What are we already doing? Concrete examples of transition-accelerating products and services from The Sharing Group companies.
Making your home more sustainable together
HEGG stands for Home Energy for a Greener Grid. It is our own energy company for consumers. We also call it the Heggers Project, because customers work together on a challenging task: making their homes more sustainable in a smart way. When should you switch to a dynamic contract? Which home battery best helps you make use of your solar power? And how do you take the next step with smart charging for your car?
Utrecht Energized
Our fleet of MyWheels Renault 5s is already proving how shared EVs can contribute to balancing the local grid.
Solving mobility with municipalities
Municipalities and MyWheels can’t do without each other. We work closely with all major cities in the Netherlands. In the past, the focus was mainly on placement strategies and permits, but today the conversation is increasingly about urban livability. For both new housing projects and large-scale neighborhood renovations, we have become a trusted partner.
In real life
Using shared cars as neighborhood batteries is a cost-effective, quick-to-implement, and flexible solution to tackle grid congestion. Utrecht is the first to benefit, but other major cities are already watching closely, or talking to us directly. Who’s next?
Practical, flexible, scalable
Residents, supported by our systems, adjust their moments of energy use. Locally generated energy stays local (stored in home or shared car batteries), peak demand goes down, grid imbalance is reduced, charging costs decrease, and ultimately fewer cars are needed.
It’s possible. With MyWheels shared cars, Hegg and Bliq batteries, EnergyZero’s dynamic energy, and WeDriveSolar’s bi-directional charging stations, even local governments can solve this complex puzzle.
Scalable, flexible and cost-efficient. Without waiting for grid upgrades or new energy legislation.
