Saturday September 21th 2024: the Open Energy Day
Discover what goes on behind your electrical socket and thermostat! On September 21, 2024 curious citizens can visits renewable energy projects throughout the Netherlands and learn about the people and technologies that drive the energy transition. Meet the people who operate windmills, feel the warmth produced by the ground you walk on or take a tour around a nearby solar farm.
The first two editions introduced a number of great projects to the public. These included wind and solar farms, bio-energy, aqua thermic, underground heat exchanges and power grid infrastructure. In 2023 more than sixty renewable energy projects opened their doors and introduced 5.000 visitors to their initiatives.
