Transitivisie Ameland stands out for making it more sustainable from the bottom up

The Ameland municipal council unanimously approved the municipality’s Heat Transition Vision at the beginning of November. In this vision, Ameland explores the options to heat all buildings on the island sustainably in the foreseeable future, i.e. without natural gas. The Ameland vision deviates quite a bit from what is customary nationally, because a district-oriented approach for buildings on the island is not appropriate. The municipality wants to work with residents and entrepreneurs on a heat transition ‘from below’. This means that each home owner (or groups of owners who have the same wishes and ideas) examines which options are the most attractive. The municipality is also investigating the possibilities of setting up a financing offer that will make the transition accessible to everyone. The transition vision was developed with support from the Interreg program SAVE.
