Abstract
The 21st century is presenting human kind with the challenge to preserve the earth and the environment as we know it. Our current way of living and our dependency on fossil fuels is harming nature and requires a change. The swap from fossil fuels to a society focussed on green energy is called the energy transition. This research focuses on the energy transition in the Dutch province of Gelderland, where a fitting policy for energy transition management is to be developed. To do so, this research focuses on two cases concerned with the energy transition; Cleantech Icon A1 and wind-park Deil. Within these cases, the actor networks have been mapped to get a clear overview of the interests that are present in the project to develop a fitting provincial policy according. According to interviews with experts and relevant actors, several policy recommendations have been formulated which, fitting into the framework of the ‘Omgevingswet’, should help the province of Gelderland reach their 2050 energy neutrality ambition.
