Abstract
This research paper examines the institutional capacities of Dutch municipalities in relation to national goals regarding gas-free environments and the implementation of heat networks. Given the rapid progress of the heating transition and the crucial role of municipalities as regulators in this process, it is essential to gain a clear understanding of their institutional capacities. Drawing on theories of government layers and available capacities in sustainable transitions, this study focuses on three specific institutional capacities: policies and regulations, financial resources, and technical expertise. Through an analysis of the case study Proeftuinen Aargasvrije Wijken (PAW), the research shows that improvements are necessary in terms of municipalities’ legislative capabilities, as well as the allocation of financial and technical resources in a horizontal and vertical manner.
