[message_box title=”Siward Zomer (Chaiman ODE Decentaal and De Windvogel ) ” color=”white”]
Siward Zomer is an expert on local sustainable energy. He is president of both ODE decentraal and De Windvogel. The first is an organisation with the aim to stimulate local sustainable energy and the latter is a cooperative association of producers of sustainable (wind)energy. He is also involved in REScoop, the European federation of groups and cooperatives of citizens for renewable energy in Europe. From a more local point of view Siward will give an update about the social and democratic changes the energy transition encompasses. Furthermore, he will also explain about the cooperatives and share his vision about their current and future status in The Netherlands and in Europe and the policy concerned.
