Will you also come to the National Election Energy Talk?
In the run-up to the municipal elections, the National Energy Election Conversation will take place on March 2, 2026 in Eindhoven City Hall. (Experienced) council election candidates from various political parties and municipalities will talk about their experiences with and plans for accelerating the energy transition. What works in practice? What do municipalities come up against? And which choices do they dare to make?
The conversation is led by Jaap Jansen with sidekick PG Kroeger, who will be on site to present their podcast Reliable Sources recording. The conversation is streamed live.
The election talk is organized by De Nederlandse Vereniging Duurzame Energie, Netbeheer Nederland, Energie-Nederland, Energie Beheer Nederland, NedZero, Holland Solar, Energy Storage NL and Energie Samen.
Why this conversation matters
Municipalities play a crucial role in the energy transition. They direct the preservation of the built environment and are responsible for the construction of heat networks. They are also responsible for finding space for energy infrastructure such as transformer houses, high-voltage cables and substations, as well as locations for the generation and storage of sustainable energy. In addition, they can be boosters for making businesses and business parks more sustainable.
Participants (aldermen and council candidates):
- Maaike Black (STIP, Delft)
- Rik Thijs (GroenLinks-PvdA, Eindhoven)
- Tobias van Elferen (D66, Nijmegen)
- Stijn Nijssen (VVD, Oostzaan)
