This interview with QuinteQ's CEO Paul Vosbeek, highlights how flywheel technology is helping tackle peak loads, grid congestion, and electrification challenges across ports, construction sites, microgrids, and defence applications.

We’re pleased to share this article from Het Financieele Dagblad, written by Bert van Dijk, highlighting the Make Next Platform and QuinteQ Energy’s journey in scaling advanced energy technology.

Between geopolitical tensions and the drive towards electrification, ports’ conventional grid connections are struggling to keep up with their power demand. More and more, the need for energy resilience becomes a key consideration for terminal operators. Port microgrids are the industry response to these challenges, allowing operators to generate, distribute, and manage power locally without the limitations of grid congestion or disturbances.
