Minister announces extra funds to support mission-driven climate projects
A Dutch programme for energy innovation has attracted far more high-quality applications than expected, causing the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy to bolster its finances with an extra €12 million.
Economic affairs and climate minister Bas van ’t Wout announced the extra funding in a letter to parliament on 9 February. The programme, called Mooi, was launched last year to co-finance collaborative climate projects in four areas: offshore wind energy, onshore renewable electricity, built environment and industry.
