You only notice it when things go wrong: a peak that’s just too high, a warning from the grid operator, or a tenant you can no longer serve. Around the end of the afternoon, office load, logistics and homecoming charging often coincide.
From 1 January 2027, an additional employer levy on company cars with CO2 emissions is expected. This makes electric leasing the cheapest standard for many employers. Result: faster growth in EVs at office locations — and therefore more demand for charging on site, at exactly the same peak moments when the grid is already tight.
Waiting for grid reinforcement is not a strategy
More cables and transformers are needed, but lead times and queued applications often mean years of waiting. Whoever delays growth or electrification until “the grid allows it” puts leasability and investments on pause.
The practical route: create space within your existing connection — in a controlled and measurable way.
Smart grid as a governance solution
In shared buildings it’s not just a technical challenge, but also a governance challenge. Who may charge when (allocation), how do you stay within the contracted value (control), and how do you pass costs through per tenant or cost centre (settlement)?
When those three are right, you can scale without disputes. You prevent overruns and peak penalties, maintain grip on purchasing and peaks, and make electrification possible again.
kW is the new m². Not the floor space, but the available power determines tomorrow’s leasability.
