The Dutch government’s energy agreement calls for 16% of the country’s electricity to be generated sustainably by 2023. Our ambition is bigger than that: we want to accelerate the energy transition! So we’re going to figure out what needs to be done to make that happen. Will we put a wind turbine in every back garden? Solar panels on every roof? A big wind park off the coast? Or all of the above?

This requires us to design and build energy landscapes in an integrated way.  A new profession is gradually coming into being – one that calls for an interweaving of urban planning knowhow, landscape architecture skill, and a thorough understanding of energy technology and networks.
