He says that the work of the 47 partners that take part in the energy agreement definitely started the way to renewable energy. Also the aim to use 14% sustainable energy in 2020 is within reach.

To accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, minister Henk Kamp will make extra money available for subsidy to generate renewable energy. The reduction on energy taxes will increase from 7.5 to 9 cents per kWh in 2016.

The cabinet is on course of reaching the aim to reduce energy consumption with 1.5% per year. This is in line with European appointments.
