Among them, the “energy tables”, joint meetings with local stakeholders from business to private that help steer the local energy transition, or a revolving fund for citizens to increase the energy efficiency of their homes.

Winterswijk’s strategy for energy neutrality by 2030 was well-presented and convincing, including sustainable investment and financing of initiatives while the renewable energy deployment across the city from 0.9% in 2012 to 12.6% in 2020 is an impressive indicator.
