Grid capacity is one of the biggest challenges facing EV charging expansion—but it may not be the barrier many Charge Point Operators think it is.

In this highlight from Episode 51 of the FLEXECHARGE Podcast, Jacob Ribergaard Vinther, Senior Business Consultant at Cerius-Radius, shares the Distribution System Operator (DSO) perspective on grid connections, capacity constraints, and the future of flexible energy infrastructure.

Recorded at INTERFACE Nordics in Copenhagen, Jacob explains why Denmark's challenge is often not whether a grid connection can be delivered, but how long it takes to build the necessary infrastructure. He also discusses how flexible grid connection agreements, smart charging, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can help connect more charging infrastructure while improving grid efficiency.

A key takeaway: engage with your DSO early. The earlier the dialogue starts, the easier it becomes to plan infrastructure, manage expectations, and identify the best connection strategy.

Key topics:
• EV charging grid connections in Denmark
• DSO perspectives on charging infrastructure
• Grid capacity and connection timelines
• Flexible connection agreements
• Smart charging and grid optimisation
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
• CPO and DSO collaboration

Jacob also highlights why co-located battery storage is becoming increasingly attractive—not only for reducing grid capacity requirements but also for creating additional revenue opportunities that strengthen the business case for EV charging investments.
