According to Van Essen, Utrecht has some catching up to do. “We only generate ten percent with wind. We have been predictable from the start as a province throughout the process. All municipalities knew where they stood. We still need sixty wind turbines so that in 2030, together with solar, we can generate half sustainably.” And to achieve that, GroenLinks is in favor of more interference from the province. “The more rules you impose, the less likely you are to get it done,” answers Van Schie.
