Imminent Power Outages in North Brabant: What Does This Mean for Transport Companies and Logistics Real Estate?

What’s Happening?

Grid operator Enexis has indicated that the electricity grid may become overloaded during peak times (particularly between 16:00 and 21:00). In extreme cases, parts of the grid may be temporarily disconnected, leaving businesses without power for hours. This means: halted logistics processes, vehicles that cannot be charged, failed cooling systems and IT infrastructure, and thus a direct impact on operations and customer commitments.

Why Is This So Urgent Right Now?

The energy transition demands greater electrical capacity, but grid expansions are lagging behind. New connections or upgrades can take years to materialise. For logistics real estate and transport companies looking to become more sustainable or expand their capacity, this is a major bottleneck.
