Jean Boumans is an energy expert at OML. In a fun and short video, he explains how OML researches future-oriented power supplies.

He takes you to the under construction Bedrijvenpark Zevenellen in the municipality of Leudal. At this site there used to be a coal-fired power plant. That method is no longer used and the plant has disappeared.

A power distribution station of grid operator Enexis is located at the site. Yet because of grid congestion, companies are not getting a connection. OML is working on possible solutions to still be able to provide companies with power, such as:

  • Generating solar and wind energy
  • .
  • Feasibility studies at various business parks and learning from them
  • .
  • Strengthening relationships and collaborations, making more possible than first thought
  • .
