We are proud to announce that Withthegrid is now also YUSO-certified for the Belgian market. We congratulate the entire Withthegrid team on this important milestone in unlocking flexibility within the Belgian electricity system.
Starting now, SME's can manage their local flexibility using the Teleport (Withthegrid's controller) in combination with YUSO’s control system. This powerful combination helps companies utilize their energy assets optimally and flexibly.
An experienced duo in flexibility management, from kW to MW
Both YUSO and Withthegrid have many years of experience in managing and optimizing flexibility.
Withthegrid is originally a Dutch company based in Utrecht and has been a well-established player in flexibility management for years, including for large and small batteries in the Netherlands. The need for flexibility has increased significantly in recent years, partly due to growing grid congestion. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for companies to obtain a new or higher-capacity grid connection.
For example, the grid operator for—not coincidentally—the Utrecht region recently announced that only residential customers can still obtain a connection. Businesses, on the other hand, are facing rejections of their capacity requests or wait times that can be as long as ten years.
YUSO is a leading player in the commercial operation of battery systems and facilitated the integration of the first large-scale battery systems in Belgium. In 2022, the Waregem-based company began operating three Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Belgium, connected to the transmission grid, with a total power of 100 MW and a capacity of 300 MWh.
In addition to these large-scale projects, YUSO has also become the preferred partner for BESS control systems at businesses (Commercial & Industrial, C&I segment) in recent years. For example, in 2025, the majority of new BESS installations at SMEs were commissioned with a YUSO control system. The C&I segment has experienced strong growth since the energy crisis of 2022.
How YUSO and Withthegrid found each other: A Major BESS Project in the Netherlands
Withthegrid and YUSO got to know each other during the integration and certification of a major BESS project in the Netherlands. Withthegrid supplied the Energy Management System (EMS), which enables YUSO to monitor the system’s key performance indicators in real time and subsequently control the installation in a targeted manner.
This laid the foundation for further collaboration between the two companies and now makes it possible to offer the combination of Withthegrid’s local EMS technology and YUSO’s market-oriented control system on the Belgian market as well.
