Visualised growth of renewable energy between 2016 and 2024. It can be done, just keep on building and keep ignoring the fossil energy companies. Who don’t understand energy at all.

    Due to this we now have significant problems with our outdated infrastructure though. So incase other countries want to follow the Dutch example, please don’t neglect your energy infrastructure! We have situations where building projects (both industrial and residential) have to wait months for a connection to the energy grid which creates it’s own giant mess of problems.

      Yeah, don’t forget to build some energy storage because if you can’t use your own solar and have to feed it back to the grid, you get a financial penalty in NL.

        If the current cabinet didn’t consist of totally bought and paid for incompetents, they would have figured out a nice subsidy for EU sourced battery storage.
