As a forerunner in the energy transition, it is of course important that we look at our COâ‚‚ footprint. In addition, we like to think along with you.

Yes, websites also have a carbon footprint...

The internet consumes a lot of electricity. 416.2 TWh per year to be exact. That is more than the whole of the United Kingdom per year in total.

Join the online Deep Dive Session on Reference Architecture on Thursday, September 7th, from 15:30-17:00 CET. This session is a follow-up to last year's session focused on the advisory report by Baringa on reference architecture for the Dutch energy system.

Open, unless

Open standards, open community, open development process. Does openness lead to greater support and accelerated success of the reference architecture for the Dutch energy system? Or does the pursuit of transparency and participation provide insufficient incentives for entrepreneurs to act quickly and decisively?

We will engage in discussions with various experts about the specific recommendations regarding open standards. We will also apply these principles to a current practical example, the ongoing development of the energy hub in Emmen.

Curious about the outcomes? And what we can learn from the strengths or limitations of "open, unless"?

Register here by September 5th.
