London lags behind Amsterdam at present in its smart city efforts but there is now a new urgency, stemming from the mayor's office. This is reflected in ambitious zero carbon and zero waste goals. Projects are multiplying and there is a major effort to scale up.
De provincie Noord-Holland heeft opnieuw de subsidieregeling Slimme Oplossingen bij Netcongestie (UVR SON) geopend. Van 1 juli tot 1 oktober 2024 kunnen bedrijven en organisaties subsidie aanvragen om inzicht te krijgen in hun elektriciteitsverbruik. Dit helpt hen om energie te besparen en hun verbruik slimmer te spreiden. De subsidie varieert van € 10.000 tot € 15.000 per aanvraag, met een totaalbudget van € 500.000.
Met deze subsidie kunnen bedrijven en organisaties slimme meet- en sturingssoftware aanschaffen waarmee je inzicht krijgt in je eigen elektriciteitsprofiel. Die meetgegevens kunnen gebruikt worden om elektriciteitsgebruik te verminderen of beter te spreiden over de dag. Lees verder op de websitelink!
Get up at your feet and join for a summer excursion in Amsterdam-Noord! Although we see more and more solar panels in our streets, as a resident you see very little of the energy transition in the neighbourhood. in Amsterdam, there is already a neighbourhood where the future has started: Buiksloterham in Amsterdam North. Buildings in this area are natural gas-free and almost all of them obtain their energy in a different way.
Be aware that the main language is Dutch!
To make this visible, little glimpses have been placed in the public space. The art objects give virtual glimpses into the devices and installations behind walls and in basements. On the pavement, a 3D painting shows where the district heating network runs, and a viewing tube shows you how full the neighbourhood battery is underground. If you walk past it often enough, you will start to see connections: the weather was really nice today, so the battery is completely full!
During this Waag Open, we'll take a walk alongside different glimpses. All facets of the energy tranisty are covered: we show how deep the boreholes of the thermal storage are and where exactly the heat from the heat network comes from. There is also a focus on solar panels, batteries and heat pumps - of all shapes and sizes! Take a walk with us on Thursday 1 August and you're bound to learn something new about the energy transition!
