title: Building Sustainable Coalitions in the Dutch Energy Transition
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: The current Energy Transition provides the opportunity to evaluate our current energy systems. Self-governance is gaining momentum in contemporary society. This leads to local initiatives that take action in the spirit of going ‘green’. The preliminary focus of this research is gaining insight in opportunities and determining factors along this process of mitigation, specifically in ‘participation coalitions’ that have to be established in the light of NPRES. The central question is: What are opportunities for collaboration and forming coalitions that benefit the Energy Transition? Potential coalition partners in the north of the Netherlands were interviewed. This research shows that opportunities for coalitions are region and actor dependent. To maximize opportunities, it is concluded that aside from participation, awareness and societal support, in order to create a ‘solid business case’, the biggest determining factors are concerned with local benefits, co-ownership, a functioning grid structure, and clear legal frameworks.
