The National Energy Agreement was signed a year ago is already jumping in its current form. A number of key objectives, such as 14 percent renewable energy by 2020, it seems unfeasible. Writes newspaper Wedding .
The agreement is full of uncertainties and hopes, the paper said, based on a report by the PBL (PBL) and the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) to be presented tomorrow. If no change in policy, the share of renewable energy in the Netherlands in 2020 to 10.6 percent, not the planned 14 percent. Now that’s 4.5 percent, making the Netherlands the bottom of the list of European countries.
Among other Labour leader Diederik Samsom wants clarification. He calls the failure of the energy agreement “unacceptable.” Stientje van Veldhoven D66 wants responsible Minister Henk Kamp of Economic Affairs takes measures so that the goals still be met.
The energy agreement for sustainable growth in the Netherlands, in September last year under the leadership of the Social and Economic Council (ESC) signed between the government, employers, employees and the environmental movement. There “firm commitments” were made about “a future-proof energy and climate.” These agreements now appear “soft as butter,” says Van Veldhoven.
last summer showed an interim report of the Committee on Securing the Energy Agreement that its implementation does not run smoothly everywhere. The basis for implementation was laid, but now it was “important to get the necessary legislation in time around,” wrote economics editor Renée Postma in NRC Handelsblad (€).
That should be enough to rise.
