Major cities fear standstill in housing construction due to grid congestion
English · translation
From January 1, 2026, a new plan from the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) will come into effect. The four largest cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague (Den Haag), and Utrecht. These cities are concerned.
They do not clearly know what the consequences of this new plan will be. The municipalities say that if there are no clear agreements, the construction of more than 160,000 houses and important facilities such as schools and charging points for cars will be at risk.
