Regional Energy Strategy 1.0 is ready

The Regional Energy Strategy 1.0 for the Drenthe region is now complete. It sets out the goal of generating a quarter of Drenthe’s energy consumption through large-scale solar and wind energy by 2030. That amounts to 3.45 terawatt-hours (TWh). The municipal councils, Provincial Council water board executive boards have until July 1, 2021, to make a decision regarding the ambitions and agreements outlined in RES 1.0. 

The RES 1.0 is the result of a collaboration between businesses, civil society partners, young people, grid operators, and government agencies. Feedback from residents has also been incorporated into the RES 1.0.

The Drenthe Energy Region is one of thirty energy regions in the Netherlands. Each region develops a RES. This document outlines the region’s contribution to the Climate Agreement’s goal of generating 35 TWh of electricity in the Netherlands by 2030 through wind energy and large-scale solar energy. It also specifies the significance of this contribution for theenergy infrastructure. Furthermore, as part of the RES, each region produces a Regional Heat Structure (RSW). This document facilitates regional coordination regarding heat demand and the supply of sustainable heat.
