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.
