About us
The challenges of the energy transition are large, complex and global. Cooperation is the key to success. In our coalition, with some 100+ partners and members, knowledge, experience, innovation and willpower come together. Together, we rise to the challenge. With an international outlook and impact for the Dutch northern energy region.
New Energy Coalition is rooted in the northern part of the Netherlands. . This area has quite a history as the Netherlands’ leading energy supplier. With a track record in energy transitions. As a result, a lot of energy knowledge is concentrated in this region and there is a strong energy infrastructure in place. From that position, the coalition works on energy innovations, research and education. We share our knowledge with others. So that everyone can benefit. Together – on the road to a sustainable energy economy: with ever growing knowledge, innovations, students, professionals, investments, jobs and business activity.
Act local, think global
Our work area lies mainly -but not exclusively- in the provinces of Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe and Noord-Holland. The region as a testing ground, with (inter)national scope. New solutions take shape here and are actually implemented. All conditions are present to accelerate the energy transition, with impact on the region: in its positioning and its economy.
We focus on (inter)national collaborations with surrounding regions and countries. For instance, we work closely together with the North Sea countries and in European projects. We apply and exchange acquired knowledge and experience we gain with our partners. We are ‘Drivers of Change’.
