Grid congestion is becoming a critical issue in the energy landscape, especially as we transition to renewable and community-based energy systems. It occurs when the demand for electricity at specific times or locations exceeds the grid’s capacity to deliver it efficiently, causing potential bottlenecks and stability issues. As renewable energy sources add variability to the grid, solutions like energy storage, demand management, and smarter technology are increasingly essential to balance supply and demand.
