Around 30% of the Amsterdam’s energy requirements must come from sustainable sources by 2025. Presently, renewable energy accounts for just 6%.
Ecofys, the Netherlands-based provider of sustainable energy solutions, has reported that it will only be possible to reach the target if Amsterdam gets completely and actively involved in improving sustainable power development.
‘We are talking to them about participating in the energy company,’ Marijke Vos Amsterdam council executive said.
Marijke has quoted that office blocks in the Zuidas business area can also be used to place small wind turbines.
Ecofys claims that if the council spends EUR81 million in the company, it will enable to attract EUR458 million from the private sector.
