Energy Storage NL now part of Regioteam: update from the regions

Since June, Energy Storage NL has been part of the Energy Transition Regional Team. This partnership of industry associations supports provinces and energy regions in realizing a sustainable energy system. With our participation, the theme of energy storage is also firmly represented in the regional energy dialogue.

The Region Team's latest newsletter (July 10, 2025) looks back at developments over the past six weeks and shows how storage, generation and smart collaboration at the regional level are moving the energy transition forward.

Some of the topics in the newsletter:

• Local energy generation offers room on a full grid Research by NVDE and Holland Solar shows that local generation, storage and mutual delivery can reduce energy costs by up to 50% for entrepreneurs.
• Cookie maker electrifies without grid reinforcement A case study from the Northern Netherlands in which decentralized solutions (generation, storage and an energy cooperative) provide the solution for an entrepreneur without available grid capacity.
• Suggestions for municipal election programs (2026) The Regional Team provides concrete texts and ideas for political parties that want to work on renewable energy at the local level.
• Research on stray current and infrasound at wind farms New studies show that concerns about stray current and health impacts of infrasound are often not supported by objective evidence.
• Call: enable battery storage on agricultural land According to NedZero and Holland Solar, among others, there is an urgent need for provincial policies that relax permits for storage "behind the meter" at wind farms.
