Development of digital platform provincial Multiyear Energy and Climate Programme (pMIEK)

For each province, pMIEK prioritises the infrastructural solutions for current and future bottlenecks in the energy system. Bottlenecks created by various (spatial) tasks in the province, such as housing construction and energy transition. Also, by sustainable electricity generation and especially by making businesses, homes, and mobility more sustainable.

The new tool is for provincial energy planners and pMIEK policy officers. They use the platform to investigate how targets are achieved and what the impact is. Think sustainable energy generation in a built-up area or realisation of a sustainability task in a sector. For these objectives, we express the impact of the chosen energy sources, infrastructure, and sustainability strategy in terms of below- and above-ground land take and energy efficiency.

The pMIEK 2.0 digital tool enables policymakers to make sound decisions on shaping the energy system of the future and its spatial integration based on quantitative information.

Working Group Integral Programming is a collaboration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Interprovincial Consultation, VNG (Association of Netherlands Municipalities), Union of Water Boards (Dutch Water Authorities), Netbeheer Nederland, National Programme Regional Energy Strategy (NP RES) and TNO. It is supported by consultancy firm Groen Licht.
