Abstract
In current times, there is a strong emphasis on the transition towards renewable energy sources. To achieve the climate goals described in the Dutch Climate Agreement (Klimaatakkoord), a transition has to be made to renewable energy sources. Together with electrification of loads, the emergence of renewable energy results in congestion on the electricity grid. In the Climate Agreement, the Dutch government decided to decentralize the task of reaching environmental goals in the Regional Energy Strategy (RES). To achieve the RES goals for large scale solar, the Dutch government emphasized the role of Public- Private Partnerships (PPPs). Nevertheless, they did not involve investors and developers of large scale solar in the elaboration of the RES. In this thesis will be investigated how the RES goals could be achieved by a PPP in congested regions and which Critical Success Factors (CSFs) are desirable to achieve the highest potential of PPP. When CSFs are assured, they will result in Potential Benefits (PBs) for PPP. Since the subject of CSFs for PPPs in energy infrastructure is not extensively researched, existing literature will be used to link PBs of successful PPP to the relevant CSFs. Semi-structured interviews are used to determine which PBs are relevant to achieve the RES goals and which CSFs are desired to achieve these PBs in congested regions. According to the analysis based on the interviews, transparent procurement and appropriate risk allocation/sharing, are the most desired CSFs that need to be implemented in the RES. Together with the other CSFs, these CSFs need to be assured in the RES for achieving the relevant PBs and thus the goals of the RES in congested regions. The most relevant PBs for achieving the goals of the RES are: Increased value for money and improved quality/efficiency of projects. The transition towards renewable energy sources will require private sector involvement. RES should accommodate private sector involvement and assure the relevant CSFs to achieve the highest potential of PPPs.
