The Port of Rotterdam<\/strong> has asked the Dutch government to fully implement the recommendations of the report presented by Peter Wennink<\/strong>, former CEO of ASML, a document that warns of the loss of competitiveness and revenue<\/strong> if the Netherlands does not revive its investment climate.<\/p>\n\n

Peter Wennink argues that the country needs to grow between 1.5% and 2% annually<\/strong>, which requires mobilizing between 151 billion and 187 billion euros in private investment over the next decade.<\/p>\n\n

Problems identified at the port<\/h2>\n\n

The port faces several obstacles that affect competitiveness: <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Billions in industrial investments, two-thirds of them earmarked for the energy transition<\/strong>, are stalled because they cannot obtain environmental permits due to nitrogen emissions regulations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The industry faces higher energy costs<\/strong> than in neighboring countries, which hinders its international competition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The lack of available electricity connections<\/strong> (grid congestion) slows down the projects necessary for decarbonization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    To mitigate this situation, the Port Authority works together with Deltalinqs<\/strong> and grid operators, collaborating with the government on short- and medium-term solutions. The approach is to solve energy bottlenecks<\/strong> with measures tailored to each industrial cluster. <\/p>\n\n
