Increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the total energy-consumption of the Netherlands is not a luxury, but a necessity. Stocks of fossil fuels are becoming depleted, and we do not want to become dependent on a small group of supplier countries.

These factors mean that the Netherlands is becoming even more vulnerable in terms of safeguarding our energy supply. That is not good for the economy and not good for the environment.

A supervisory board monitors its policy and objectives. The policy committee advises on policy matters and is the main forum where opportunities and bottlenecks are discussed. Initiative and management.
