From 2029, the network tariffs for electricity will vary based on consumption and time, which means that especially in the evening and during peak morning hours, electricity will become more expensive, resulting in some households benefiting while others, including sustainable residents and people with medical equipment, may expect higher costs. #Energieprijzen #Netwerktarieven #Duurzaamheid (translated)

"This is about the least effective thing you can do. Furthermore, there are doubts about the effectiveness of the measure: right at the end of a long block, devices will be switched on en masse, which could cause a new peak in electricity demand, independent energy researcher Auke Hoekstra stated recently in the Volkskrant." #Energietransitie #Stroomtarieven #Duurzaamheid (translated)

Beach Roy wrote that the British population was pleading for a return to the EU at that time, while #Nexit was trending. He argued that a Nexit for the Netherlands as a trading nation would be even more disastrous than for the United Kingdom. According to Roy, one third of the national income comes from exports. He referred to economists from the University of Groningen, who, according to him, expected a total export decrease of approximately 45%, a 43.5% decrease in industrial exports, an 18% decrease in agricultural exports, and about a 2.4% lower national income in the event of a Nexit. He also predicted severe damage for Rotterdam and Schiphol. Furthermore, Roy wrote that converting euros to guilders would make everything more expensive. Banks and asset managers would lose the EU passport that allowed them to operate in the internal market from Amsterdam. According to him, part of those activities had already shifted to the continent after Brexit; a Nexit would reverse that trend. Roy also stated that working, studying, and living in other EU countries would become subject to permits and that the recognition of diplomas and professional qualifications would need to be re-established. He described this as only a part of the consequences and used derogatory terms for advocates of a Nexit. #Nexit #EU #Nederland (translated)
Maarten van den Berg wrote that Stedin wanted to increase the network tariffs by 22 percent in 2027 to €914 per year, regardless of gas or electricity consumption. According to him, the tariffs were stable around €400 from 2015 to 2022 and have more than doubled since 2022, from €441 to €914. He suggested that the index with 2015 set at 100 would reach 234 next year and called this a disgrace of the energy transition. #energie #energietransitie #nettarieven (translated)

Henk Otten wrote that the Dutch power grid, in his opinion, collapsed due to a thoughtless energy transition. He called the mandatory implementation of heat pumps an incompetent response from a D66 politician and stated that the cabinet continued full throttle with what he considered absurd climate policy. According to Otten, the Netherlands would pay a high price for that. https://t.co/wUPIoTiwKm #Energietransitie #Klimaatbeleid #Warmtepompen (translated)
René Dercksen used an insulting term for the policymakers and stated that the burdens increased further while, according to him, there was no electricity available.

Dorien Rookmaker wrote that a complete transition to heat pumps would make the Netherlands heavily dependent on electricity, according to her. In extreme cold, millions of heat pumps would run simultaneously and increase the electricity demand, potentially resulting in local power outages. In the event of a power failure, heating and hot water would also be lost, as there would be no gas network as a backup. Rookmaker further stated that the winter heating demand coincides with periods when there is little solar energy and sometimes little wind available, which she believes threatens supply reliability. A digitally controlled power grid with smart heat pumps would also be more vulnerable to cyber attacks, she said. She called for hybrid systems with green gas, hydrogen, and nuclear energy, in addition to large-scale expansion of the electricity grid, to mitigate those risks. Additionally, Rookmaker warned of what she called a "concentration risk": if everyone follows government policy and that course later proves to be wrong, it would cause significant problems for both society and the government, according to her. https://t.co/rUtyMQbk6d #energievoorziening #warmtepompen #duurzaamheid (translated)
