This study presents an assessment framework to support by making a choice for the best solution. This assessment framework consists of several, relevant criteria and can be seen as a combination of a checklist and a multi-criteria analysis.The 9-cell approach of De Roo & De Voogd (2019) is mainly used as an analytical tool and consists of three main concepts (material, organizational, instutional). The evaluation of the assessment framework in this study shows that another institutional design is needed for the framework to function properly. in the future, several projects concerning smart grid are planned to be realized, but these are on a smaller scale. At this moment, the principle “Strengthen, unless…” is the leading slogan in almost all projects. date: 2019 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/2534/1/Master_thesis_J.S._van_der_Vee_1.pdf identifier: Veen, J.S. van der (2019) An assessment framework for the implementation of a smart grid system in the municipality of Groningen.
