Q: How can we approach the energy transition without a well-thought-out plan?
A: We can’t!
The Netherlands, with less than 5% of fully-electric cars, already has a grid that cannot take it anymore.
According to the CEO of one of the largest utility companies in the Netherlands, longer waiting times are waiting for Dutch consumers who want to help with the energy transition (e.g., installing solar panels, a heat pump, or a charging station for the electric car).
The Dutch Financial Times, reported that consumers might start seeing flickering lights or blackouts on a street- or neighborhood level. 😱
“The electricity grid in residential areas is not yet designed for the speed at which consumers are making their homes more sustainable”
