Neighbourhood projects
Home batteries working together in your street
One home battery helps your own household. Dozens of batteries in the same neighbourhood, tuned to each other, also help the grid in that neighbourhood. That's what we research in a neighbourhood project, together with residents and local partners.
How a neighbourhood project works
- Enough neighbours in the same areaA neighbourhood project only works once there are enough batteries on the same stretch of grid. So we start with a list: the more households sign up, the sooner we can start in an area.
- Batteries that charge in step with each otherInstead of every battery charging and discharging on its own, we tune the moments to each other. That way the batteries lower the peak on the local grid together, rather than moving it around.
- Measure, report back, adjustWe measure what it delivers for the grid and for the people taking part, and report back. What we learn goes into making the next project better.

Flex met de wijk
Residents work out together how to shift usage and storage, so the local grid carries less load.

What taking part means for you
- The battery stays yoursYou simply buy a ModuleTwo and use it for your own household. Taking part in a project doesn't change that.
- You keep the overviewThe MyGrid Energy app shows what your battery is doing, whether you take part or not.
- Taking part is voluntaryYou decide whether to join and you can stop. What a project involves exactly is agreed with participants beforehand.
- You're not committing to anythingBeing on the list is not an order and not a contract. You'll hear from us as soon as something starts in your region.
Should we come to your neighbourhood?
We start neighbourhood projects where enough neighbours take part. Tell us where you live and we'll put you on the list, then let you know as soon as we start in your area.
Why a list? A neighbourhood project only works once there are enough batteries in the same street or district. The more neighbours sign up, the sooner we can start.
