What will tomorrow's energy look like?

The Netherlands aims to have all homes natural gas-free by 2050. That is why municipalities and landlords throughout the Netherlands are already taking action. We are working with residents to explore how homes in a neighborhood—or an entire village—can be heated in a different way. This will allow us to live comfortably and pleasantly, both now and in the future.

In 2025, the municipality of Klundert began a study into a new heating system. In addition, the municipality also launched similar initiatives in Helwijk, Langeweg, Zevenbergschen Hoek, and Moerdijk-dorp.

Tomorrow’s energy system will consist of green energy and heating without natural gas. To get there, every resident will embark on a journey of sorts. That journey consists of several steps that can be divided into two parts. Step 1 is saving energy: small measures that help reduce energy use, as well as insulating homes. With the energy-saving van from the windmills, you can take your first step toward saving energy.

Once all homes are sufficiently insulated, Step 2 begins: the energy of tomorrow. This may happen at a different time for each resident. Everyone takes these steps at their own pace. Step 2 involves actually switching to natural gas-free heating for the home. And for Step 2, we need to investigate how we’re going to do that. That is exactly what the municipality is currently doing for the eastern part of Klundert—the homes around the Niervaert. Read more about it on the Klundert-East page.
