Decentralised Energy Documentation in the Netherlands

Decentralised energy generation is widespread and mainstream in many European countries, most notably Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden.
A decentralised approach makes best use of resources by locating power stations where there is demand, so that energy is generated close to the point of use and both heat and power can be utilised locally. This highly efficient approach is the best for the climate, is most secure, and gives the best value for money invested in the energy sector.
