Travel guide for policy makers

Lost in the land of the energy transition? ECN has written a travel guide for policy makers: Tracking and trailblazing, of which the executive summary is now available in English.

The summary provides some key lessons and recommendations for policy making amidst the uncertainties and hectics that come with the energy transition. ‘Clients usually ask ECN to do quantitative analyses to get a better grip on a dossier’, says Marc Londo, author of the guide together with Michiel Hekkenberg. ‘‘This travel guide sketches the more fundamental and qualitative outlines of our energy challenge: what are current developments in certain themes and what do policy makers need to take into account to effectively steer towards a transition to cleaner energy? The overall report (only available in Dutch) also goes into context factors specific to the Netherlands, but this two-page summary can be of general relevance for other countries as well.

Of course, more concrete advice can be obtained from ECN’s experts, who have experience in many corners of the world.

The English summary with key messages  can be found here.
