The climate is changing worldwide and also in the Netherlands. The average temperature over the past century has risen, the amount and intensity of precipitation has increased and very warm days are becoming more frequent. Achieving the Paris climate goals (2015) is necessary to prevent further global warming and its consequences as much as possible. To meet the Paris agreements, the Netherlands must switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. The Climate Agreement sets out the measures and agreements for the energy transition. The aim of the Climate Agreement is to reduce greenhouse gases by 49% by 2030 and by 95-100% by 2050.

Further systematic assessment of this is needed to take advantage of opportunities for health, safety and nature when realising the energy transition and to prevent or minimise negative effects. The steps should also be taken in the right order. An example is the realisation of solar parks without connection to the electricity grid. In addition, a large number of aspects such as support base, distances of wind turbines from homes should be taken into account.

A crucial point, which is underexposed, is the reliability and stability of the electricity grid.
