Flexible energy system

HoCoSto provides a completely natural gas-free, flexible energy system for your property or utility building in combination with sustainable heat storage. This leads to cost reduction, a high sustainability factor and you avoid connection problems due to grid congestion: you can still build or expand despite the overloaded power grid.

Your entire energy supply (generation, storage and delivery) takes place locally: everything on your own property.

Achieve your goals

100% sustainable

The energy system becomes truly sustainable because effectively no more heat is made with electricity that comes from gas and coal plants. This can be done with direct use of our own sustainable PV generation or control of heat pump production at times when the generation in the Netherlands is 100% sustainable (and nice bonus that prices are low then). Finally, it prevents many social costs in enlarging our power grid.

Cost Reduction

  • Cheap purchase of electricity at hours/days when prices are low.
  • Reduced grid management costs due to smaller electricity connection.
  • Improve value of own PV generation
  • Cheap cold supply if needed

Cooling

The heat pump combined with the water in the storage can be used to produce cooling in the summer, with the residual value released by this effectively stored in the storage. With this, there is cheap heat.

Preconditions

  • Cheap purchase of electricity at hours/days when prices are low.
  • Lower grid management costs due to smaller electricity connection (3x80a may suffice)
  • Improve value of own PV generation
  • Cheap cold supply if needed
