Open Energiedag 2025: zaterdag 20 september
The Netherlands is generating more and more energy from renewable sources, such as with wind turbines, solar panels, ground heat, heat pumps or from water. But how does generating renewable energy work? During the Open Energy Day, on September 20, everyone can come and see and experience for themselves how it works. All kinds of locations and projects will open their doors to visitors. Is your location also participating?

The Netherlands faces challenges and is in transition. Everyone wants solutions! Technological developments make the previously impossible possible. Innovators are reaping the benefits with innovative concepts.
Within 10 years, the Netherlands must reduce CO2 emissions by 49% compared to 1990. By 2050, our country must be virtually climate-neutral. Hard targets and costly interventions. But above all, they also bring many opportunities.
The platform for 18 years
For 18 years, Vakbeurs Energie has been the business platform for sustainability and energy. In 3 days, almost all frontrunners in saving, generation and storage share their knowledge with thousands of decision-makers.
The fair is a link in the energy transition that should not be underestimated, as a binding element and to promote knowledge sharing and business. Simultaneously – under the banner of National Energy Week – with the trade fairs PREFAB, Zero Emission | Ecomobiel and Industrial Heat & Power.
To give entrepreneurs and initiatives in the field of hydrogen the opportunity to present their visions and solutions within the broader framework of possible transition paths, the third edition of the Dutch Hydrogen Days will take place from 7 to 9 October, during National Energy Week, at the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch.

Join us at TU Delft Aula Conference Centre for a full day dedicated to the future of offshore wind. As the race toward 2050 accelerates, the ambitions for wind energy are greater than ever: 70 GW for the Netherlands and 260 GW across the North Sea. To meet these goals, we need more than ambition — we need innovation, collaboration, and bold solutions.
At the Wind Energy 2050 Conference, leading voices from research, industry, and policy will come together to explore the journey of offshore wind: where we have been, where we are, and where we need to go. Expect an energising mix of visionary keynotes, dynamic discussions, and fresh ideas from start-ups and young researchers reshaping the future.
Prices:
Early bird tickets – €75 available for a limited time only
Student tickets – €0 with discount code
