Complex Program Management

One European TSO and several DSOs aim to establish a joint market for procuring grid and system services from flexible, decentralised energy resources. The project seeks to enhance coordination, flexibility, and stable grid operation. Following a successful pilot project, Magnus Energy was asked to provide independent project management to bring this ground-breaking project into the…

New interconnectors are key to accommodating the energy transition. ALeGrO is the first interconnector between Germany and Belgium. Beyond the infrastructural work and system integration, this connection must also be implemented in the European energy markets. How can ALeGrO access the capacity calculation region (CCR) and pan-European allocation platforms to ensure cross-border transmission and trade…

The integration of European electricity markets is key to Europe’s energy transition, and exchanging information on cross-border capacity is crucial in making this happen. The Capacity Calculation Regions (CCRs) are a major vehicle in turning EU legislation into a functioning operational system. Magnus Energy facilitates the largest region – Core CRR – in achieving major…

DSOs in the Netherlands have been working with a central online platform to communicate with market parties on consumer requests. However, not all customer service processes run smoothly, especially when it comes to issues concerning smart meters. Due to the novelty of the product, DSOs encounter new issues and do not solve them in the…

In an electrical network, power generation and power consumption must be balanced. To ensure a stable frequency, there are many different balancing processes and products at play in the European electricity market. Magnus Energy has supported one of the centralised European balancing platforms, the Manually Activated Reserves Initiative (MARI), in coming into operations. Key results…

New interconnectors are key to accommodating the energy transition. NordLink is the first direct power connection between Germany and Norway. In addition to the infrastructural work and system integration, this connection must be implemented in the European electricity markets. How can NordLink access the capacity calculation region (CCR) and pan-European allocation platforms to ensure cross-border…

Being prepared for the future is essential in order to grow as a business in the ever-evolving energy transition. Part of this is ensuring that the systems in use can cope with (un)expected changing demands. This is especially true for financial operations and systems. Managing incoming payments manually can be a time-consuming and error-prone process…

To enable the energy transition, the current energy infrastructure needs to be expanded. Numerous investments are being made to enhance grid improvements throughout Europe, such as the introduction of new interconnectors. These interconnectors, along with infrastructural work and system integration, must be implemented in existing European capacity calculation regions (CCRs) and in pan-European allocation platforms…

Grid congestion occurs when the electricity network’s capacity is insufficient to meet demand. This is a persistent challenge in the energy sector that will remain relevant for years to come. DSOs are obligated to implement solutions for congestion such as congestion management, which requires a significant effort. This Dutch DSO asked Magnus Energy subsidiary Ciratum…

ERP systems are the backbone of modern operations and processes. Implementing an ERP update is a critical project, requiring careful planning and execution. How did this Energy Supplier successfully implement a system update when business continuity was at stake because of capacity limitations? The complexity of customised ERP solutions ERP implementations are complex projects that…
