title: The Dutch central government and the energy transition
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: In this thesis the role of the Dutch central government in the so-called energy transition in the Netherlands will be examined. Main conclusion is that the government isn’t actually in a transition, from a scientific point of view. The government is busy with top-down, centralized designed and implemented policy, while calling it a transition. The main mistake the government makes is to take too much control, and leave too little space for the local level to operate in a way that they want. The government needs to think about the way they position themselves in relation to what their actual goals are in order to make the energy transition.
