Our committees and working groups determine the substantive course of NedZero.

Participate in committees and working groups, exert direct influence and actively contribute to the development of NedZero positions.

We determine the composition of the committees periodically. Members of NedZero can order themselves available for this. It is also possible to become an agenda member and thus stay informed of all developments.

Onshore wind, offshore wind and export are our main focus areas and have main committees. Specific topics such as grid infrastructure, finances and use of space are dealt with in subcommittees and working groups that report to the main committees.

In the public affairs and communications committees we discuss the strategy for communicating the positions taken.

The main committees for onshore wind and offshore wind are chaired by the vice-chairman of NedZero. The main export committee and all other committees and working groups have a chairman who is elected from among the committee members. Each committee and working group has a secretary, who is an industry specialist from the NedZero team.
