Goal and impact
The goals:
- Being able to jointly live through the impact of choices. The tool makes the results/impact spatially visible and enables users to quickly switch between different inputs.
- Quickly explore the effects of choices on grid load, among other things, at different scales (municipality, region, province). Existing grid models of grid operators are not suitable for exploratory discussions due to complexity and sensitive information, among other things.
Impact: Insights from the tooling should help in the integral programming process (pMIEK) among other things in weighing up energy infrastructure projects, but also in reconsidering and smartly planning spatial developments that have an impact on the energy system.
Considerations
Advantages:
- Being able to quickly estimate grid impacts in a relatively simple way.
- Tooling/ETM is integral (all energy carriers) compared to grid models of grid operators modelling only electricity).
Disadvantages:
- No rights can be derived from the results. Grid operators' grid impact analyses remain ultimately determinant for electricity grid investments.
Human intervention
The results from the tool provide input for policy choices in the energy system of South Holland. In this, the results from the tool do not serve as numerical 'hard' substantiation, but should give a feeling for the order of magnitude and impact of different choices and assumptions.
The tool can stimulate iterative use. Based on results, assumptions can be adjusted quickly and easily.No AI or self-learning algorithms are used in the tool.
Risk management
The main risk is misinterpretation of results obtained. That is, results from the tool are seen as an 'exact' estimate of network capacity on the basis of which, among others, network operators can be held accountable. In addition, the tool remains a model-based approach to reality, whereby interpretation of uncertainties and assumptions made is necessary for correct interpretation of the results.
Both risks are covered by process agreements between network operators and users of the tool. These process agreements were preconditions for supporting network operators in the development of this tool.
Legal basis
Provinces have been asked by the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth to set up a provincial multi-year infrastructure energy and climate programme (pMIEK). Every two years, provinces go through the integral programming process which results in a pMIEK report. This identifies a selection of energy infrastructure projects that are of above-average (social) importance for the province/region.
The aim is to jointly monitor the selected projects, take inter-governmental actions where necessary and thus prevent project delays. Broader goal of the integrated programming process to develop a joint vision of the future provincial energy system and the developments required for it.
The pMIEK is not a statutory task, but the ability of provinces to steer energy infrastructure from the point of view of societal interests is guaranteed by law.

Elaboration on impact assessments
A pre-DPIA was carried out, concluding that no personal data is processed in the pMIEK tool. No IAMA has been carried out.
Operations
Data
For the pMIEK tool, municipal ETM scenarios were provided by regional grid operators. These scenarios are based on national II3050 scenarios on the future energy system. These national scenarios are regionalised. Firstly to the service areas of the regional grid operators (roughly: individual provinces) and then further regionalised by each regional grid operator to municipalities. These scenarios for South Holland were shared once with the developers of the pMIEK tool.
The underlying, public model (ETM) uses public data sources, including the Climate and Energy Outlook (KEV), Climate Atlas and CBS.
It uses the dataset 'Available Electricity Grid Capacity' that was available through the Public Services on the Map (PDOK). This is a platform for unlocking geodatasets of Dutch governments. This dataset contains the capacity of electricity stations in South Holland and an approximation of station service areas using voronoid (shortest distance) surfaces.

Technical design
- Input: the user can make adjustments in the tool on specific assumptions/variables from the II3050* scenario for each municipality.
- Operation: the tool posts the adjustments made to the ETM model. It then recalculates the scenarios for all municipalities and returns the results to the tool.
- Output: the tool returns results in the form of maps. The most important results are the energy balance (ratio of generated and used energy in different forms) and the available grid capacity (how much electricity demand/supply the different power stations have to supply in the scenario).
* II3050 stands for Integral Infrastructure Outlook 2030-2050. It is a biannual scenario study by Netbeheer Nederland (association of all electricity and gas grid operators in the Netherlands). Among other things, the scenarios serve to estimate long-term energy infrastructure needs. In doing so, they develop scenarios for view years (20)30 and (20)50. Integral means that all energy carriers are considered; electricity, gas and heat.
