Regional Energy Strategy 1.0 is ready

The Regional Energy Strategy 1.0 for the Drenthe region is ready. It sets out the goal of generating a quarter of Drenthe's energy consumption through large-scale solar and wind energy by 2030. That is 3.45 terawatt hours (TWh). The municipal councils, Provincial Councils, and general boards of the water authorities have until July 1, 2021, to make a decision on the ambitions and agreements in RES 1.0. 

The RES 1.0 is the result of collaboration between companies, social partners, young people, network operators, and governments. Recommendations from residents have also been incorporated into the RES 1.0.

Sun and wind

The Drenthe energy region is one of thirty energy regions in the Netherlands. Each region develops an RES. This describes the contribution to the Climate Agreement's target of generating 35 TWh of electricity in the Netherlands by 2030 through wind energy and large-scale solar energy. It also indicates the significance of the contribution to theenergy infrastructure. Furthermore, as part of the RES, each region is producing a Regional Heat Structure (RSW). This involves regional coordination of heat demand and the sustainable heat supply.
