Energy strategies

We support almost half of the 30 Regional Energy Strategy (RES) regions in the Netherlands, in differing degrees. Our approach is thorough and gives careful attention to the administrative process. We give a clear picture of the task at hand and ensure support for the process among stakeholders and public administrations. We involve governments, entrepreneurs, residents and educational institutions because we believe that this cooperation delivers sound strategies that have the potential to turn into reality.

We use energy modelling to visualise the scope of the energy transition for local, regional and national governments. How many wind turbines and solar fields are needed to be climate neutral in 2050, and how will we store energy when the sun is not shining? How exactly does the heat transition work? How many houses have to step away from natural gas in order to achieve the energy targets?

Energy modelling provides the insights that administrators need to make choices for our future, for example to implement the Regional Energy Strategy or for the development of sustainability programmes. The Energy Transition Model (ETM) is a valuable tool to identify which goals to pursue, and how to best achieve them.

With a sustainability implementation programme, we help draw up an action-oriented plan that municipalities and other stakeholders can use to turn their ambitions into reality. The programmes are drafted in co-creation with the main stakeholders and the relevant departments within the municipality.

Together, we shape a roadmap. In addition to bringing in substantive expertise, we always outline which process must be followed and what organisation is required to initiate the implementation.
