Women in Electricity
Women in Energy: Charging Electra
The Netherlands is in the midst of a major energy transition: shifting from a centralized, fossil-fuel-based system to a decentralized, sustainable energy model. As with any major transformation, this comes with significant challenges.
🔹 Rising energy prices, driven in part by geopolitical tensions
🔹 Grid congestion, limiting access to electricity for businesses and households
🔹 Energy poverty, where more and more people struggle to afford their energy bills
How can we ensure that electricity remains accessible and affordable for everyone?
