Vechtdalstroom Ommen: Local Energy for a Sustainable Future

In the Ommen region, Vechtdalstroom Ommen is an initiative entirely focused on creating sustainable energy solutions for and by the local community. This local energy initiative works on energy transition with the aim of achieving a cleaner future. Vechtdalstroom Ommen offers residents of the region the opportunity not only to benefit from locally generated energy, but also to be actively involved in its future production.

Vechtdalstroom Ommen stands for sustainability, local involvement and energy independence. The initiative aims to get the community involved in generating energy by using renewable sources. By generating energy locally, the region reduces its dependence on fossil fuels and large, external energy suppliers. At the same time, residents contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and preserving the environment for future generations.

The aim is to work with all stakeholders in a fair and open manner, always putting the interests of residents first. By setting up energy projects locally, the resulting profits also stay within the community, allowing it to grow socially and economically.

Vechtdalstroom Ommen aims to become an energy-neutral region. This means generating as much sustainable energy as the region consumes.

One of the main spearheads of Vechtdalstroom Ommen is the involvement of the local population. By involving citizens in decision-making and giving them the opportunity to invest in sustainable energy projects, the initiative ensures that energy transition is not only imposed from above, but also supported from the bottom up. This not only creates a sense of ownership and commitment, but also ensures that revenue is retained within the community. Vechtdalstroom Ommen will receive support in the start-up phase of the cooperative.
