A challenge from:

Boost The Energy Transition Challenge

We will soon launch the Boost the Energy Transition Challenge in partnership with the Zeeland Public Interests Foundation. The challenge question is as follows: How can we demonstrate through innovative projects and pilots within two years that smarter deployment of various energy networks accelerates the energy transition? Keep an eye on this page for more info!

Reason for Challenge

The energy transition is a dynamic process, with the power grid as the current main player. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are increasing the supply of renewable electricity. At the same time, the electrification of energy consumption in our buildings, roads and industry is accelerating.

Challenges and Innovations Wanted in Electricity Networks

This brings a significant increase in both electricity supply and demand. Despite hefty investments in the expansion of national and regional power grids, keeping this growing supply and demand on par for the foreseeable future is proving challenging.

Toward an Integrated Energy Approach.

This is a first major hurdle on the road to a successful energy transition. But there is more. Several studies show that electricity will only provide up to 50% of our energy mix over time. It is therefore essential to also accelerate the climate-neutral development of the gas and heat network in the Netherlands, in conjunction with the electricity network.

The Challenge

The future energy system is characterized by a climate-neutral interplay of electrons, molecules (gas, liquid, solid) and temperature differences (heat, cold). Storage and conversion are inherently part of this system in order to efficiently accommodate flexibility in supply and demand. This applies to all phases: at the source, during transportation and at consumption. At Dockwize, we are excited to work with you and our network on this vision of the future. Are you ready for the challenge? Stay tuned!
