What NOORDERLICHT ventures does

NOORDERLICHT ventures operates a SaaS platform called NOORDERLICHT ENERGIE that addresses Dutch grid congestion at the local energy area level. The platform aggregates and validates energy consumption and feed-in data from multiple grid connections at quarter-hour granularity, calculates simultaneity factors and collective peak loads across those connections, makes each individual connection's position within the collective network capacity visible, and reproducibly documents decisions and agreements about energy usage and capacity allocation. Functionally, the platform reframes congestion as an area-level insight problem rather than a pure infrastructure-shortage problem, enabling business parks and energy areas to phase growth within existing grid capacity and avoid premature investments in batteries or grid reinforcement.

The company's customers are Dutch business parks (bedrijventerreinen) and energy areas (energiegebieden) that share collective grid capacity and must coordinate usage within constrained network infrastructure. Its commercial model is subscription-based SaaS with no publicly disclosed pricing; prospective customers are directed to schedule a consultative conversation. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales targeting business park managers, energy coordinators, and industrial site operators, supported by a packaged 'Programma voor bedrijventerreinen' (Business Parks Program).

NOORDERLICHT ventures is a trade name of Cebimifai Expertise Center bv, a Dutch private limited company. The company is relocating its headquarters from The Hague to Zalk, operates with approximately 10 employees, and confines its market to the Netherlands. No external investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or partnerships are documented in the available source material.
