But the CPR's two-route CE marking system means innovative products using the EAD/ETA route could face Digital Product Passport requirements years before mainstream products covered by harmonised standards — and there is no way out. noreply@regenstudio.world (Yvo Hunink de Paiva) Digital Product Passport Vision & Strategy https://www.regenstudio.world/blog/slim-laadplein-vruchtenbuurt/ https://www.regenstudio.world/blog/slim-laadplein-vruchtenbuurt/ Thu, 19 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT In The Hague's Vruchtenbuurt, two energy cooperatives and the municipality used a structured innovation process to untangle a complex challenge: how do you optimally use the electricity grid and public space when residents generate their own energy, share cars, and want a neighbourhood battery? This is the story of how Problem Analysis and Ideation turned a residents' dream into a concrete plan. noreply@regenstudio.world (Yvo Hunink de Paiva) Client Projects Energy Communities Smart Grids Innovation Services https://www.regenstudio.world/blog/energy-justice-the-hague/ https://www.regenstudio.world/blog/energy-justice-the-hague/ Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Hague tested whether solar cooperative revenues from Slim Strandnet could be routed directly to people in need — reducing energy bills without requiring them to join a cooperative. Behind the experiment lies a larger vision: a city-wide social cooperative that ensures energy security and independence for everyone, regardless of whether they can afford a solar panel. Inside the design, the experiment, and what it takes to make the energy transition structurally just. noreply@regenstudio.world (Yvo Hunink de Paiva) Client Projects Energy Communities Energy Justice Innovation Services https://www.regenstudio.world/blog/slim-strandnet/ https://www.regenstudio.world/blog/slim-strandnet/ Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Hague's smart microgrid at Scheveningen — known as Slim Strandnet — started in 2016, years before grid congestion became a national crisis. Today it runs on second-life EV batteries, circular solar panels, and an energy cooperative that puts energy justice at its core.
