Online UK-Netherlands exchange workshop on local heat and energy transitions

Written By Anna Devenish

The Going Dutch? project is looking in detail at what the UK can learn from the Dutch experience of heat decarbonisation so far, at both national and local levels. As part of the project, we held a one-day online workshop with over 40 participants on 26 September 2022, aimed at the exchange of views and experience between Dutch and British actors engaged in developing national heat decarbonisation frameworks and local energy and/or heat transition planning.
