Utrecht residents want sustainable energy for everyone. Residents of Wijk C see that the energy transition is currently not accessible to all residents in their neighbourhood – and they believe that this must change. After a door-to-door flyer campaign by one resident, a group of residents was created and has been together for a year. They put their heads together to think about how sustainable energy can truly be an asset to all the residents of Wijk C. By entering into a dialogue with residents and stakeholders, they want to be the connecting link in the search for solutions for the neighbourhood. Wijk C Stroom. That’s what the residents call their core team, which has been meeting since the end of 2019. Step by step, the residents are working on a new collaboration between the residents and other parties who are involved, such as the residents’ initiatives, the Volksbuurt Museum, housing corporations and the municipality.
