Study visit on the energy transition

17 April 2018 - 19 April 2018

  • « AER Spring Committees Plenaries
  • Eurodyssey Events & Forum 2018 »

On the occasion of the London Committee 1 plenary meeting, members agreed to organise a study visit on the energy transition in Gelderland (NL) to share and learn from each other’s experiences.

The Province of Gelderland invites all AER members to take part in a study-visit to get to know this unique multi-stakeholder collaboration for an energy-neutral Province.

See the programme here

Registration Closed

Deadline (30 March)

Study visit

The main focus of the study visit, which will be organised in cooperation with other interregional networks, will be the bottom-up approach for the energy transition, which was implemented in the region. This multi-stakeholder cooperation was materialised by the Gelders’ Energy agreement (GEA). The shared goal is to make the province energy-neutral by 2050. Local and regional industries, governments and NGOs’ in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands, have pledged for the province to become energy-neutral by 2050. It facilitates a co-creative process where initiatives, actors, and energy are integrated into society.

To this aim local and regional industries, governments and NGOs’ in the province of Gelderland have set ambitious goals for themselves. The energy agreement facilitates a co-creative process where initiatives, actors, and energy are integrated into society.

Good practice sharing:

Participants will share good practice and experience, they will in particular:

  • observe GEA’s working process
  • meet with GEA’s regional partners
  • carry out visits to observe regional results
  • participate in a serious game on energy and the diverging interests of stakeholders to exchange about challenges.

Who can participate?

  • Regions
  • Regional businesses
  • Knowledge institutes
