About this episode

We are working hard on sustainability in the Netherlands. That is why we use more and more electricity and generate more electricity. But our current electricity grid cannot handle that. In many places in the country the grid is full and companies, schools or even entire residential areas cannot get (an extension of a) connection to the grid. To solve this we need to strengthen the power grid, but that won't happen overnight. And so we are also working on a lot of innovative solutions, such as more local sharing and more flexible use of electricity. The solutions now often fail due to regulations. How could that be otherwise?
