Taskforce Energy Crises is The Hague’s shortlisted entry for the Eurocities Awards.
The Hague has appointed an Energy Crisis Taskforce to help residents and entrepreneurs deal with energy costs. The taskforce focuses on reducing energy consumption, assisting those in financial need, and accelerating the transition towards renewable energy sources. Twice per week, experts from various fields come together to provide the most effective and holistic ideas to achieve these goals.
Informational and participatory meetings with local people and businesses provide information and tips for reducing energy usage. A wide ranging information campaign including letters, posters and newspaper articles helps to spread the message. The taskforce has already achieved a 15% municipal gas reduction.

Eurocities wants to make cities places where everyone can enjoy a good quality of life, is able to move around safely, access quality and inclusive public services and benefit from a healthy environment. We do this by networking almost 200 larger European cities, which together represent some 130 million people across 38 countries, and by gathering evidence of how policy making impacts on people to inspire other cities and EU decision makers.
