Energy transition opportunities for the East Netherlands

Client: Oost NL (Regional Development Agency)

Characteristics: Positioning study for the opportunities of the energy transition for East Netherlands, and the commitment of East Netherlands in the field of knowledge economy and manufacturing industry related to the energy transition.

The research includes:

• An inventory of the developments in the energy transition within the East Netherlands and in surrounding regions
• An exploration of the strength and potential of the East Netherlands ecosystem
• Translating this into a widely supported message
• An extensive list of specialised companies in the region

Promising for the East Netherlands are the development and integration of integrated decentralised energy systems. Living labs in which these systems are developed, tested and integrated, match the dynamics and strength of this region. The neighbouring region of North Rhine-Westphalia offers great opportunities for selling products and knowledge.

The study shows that there are parties present for all essential parts of the chain for decentralised energy systems.

This positioning of the East Netherlands in the energy transition can accelerate the time to market, contribute to a reliable sustainable energy supply and to an attractive and green living environment.

This study was carried out in cooperation with the consultancy Stratelligence.
