Power Up! Empowering Communities in the Energy Transition

Developing the right mix of aquathermal, solar and wind energy to maximise citizen support and lowering energy prices. In our policy session we share how local and regional authorities work together with energy communities to achieve a fair and just transition. We demonstrate innovative approaches to citizen engagement in energy policy. We hope to inspire other regions in Europe to find their own right mix! - Speakers: Sijbe Knol, Henk de Boer, Ighor van de Vyver & Morten Westergaard.
