The Netherlands is undergoing an energy transition to achieve its goals as set out in the Climate Act: 49% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and 80-95% by 2050. Municipalities play a key role in this process. In recent years, they have shaped policies related to energy transition. Various audit offices have conducted research on the design, legality, cost-effectiveness, and effectiveness of municipal energy transition policies. This has resulted in several dozen reports that provide valuable insights for the next steps in the energy transition.
In response to a request from the Dutch Association of Audit Offices & Audit Committees (NVRR), Dialogic has conducted a meta-analysis of all recent audit reports on the energy transition. The aim of the requested meta-analysis is to determine the collective insights provided by individual audit investigations. The meta-analysis contributes to knowledge sharing and exchange in the field of energy transition, enabling governments to learn from each other. Furthermore, the meta-analysis clarifies which issues cannot be resolved at a decentralised level and should provide concrete guidance for follow-up investigations by audit offices.
