The Hague has launched its autumn Pak Je Voordeel (Take advantage) campaign to help residents reduce energy use and make their homes more comfortable. Running until 31 December, the campaign brings together advice, subsidies and discount schemes for tenants and homeowners.
Residents can arrange a free visit from an energy coach, who can identify draughts and suggest small improvements. Depending on the household and scheme, help can include materials such as draught strips, radiator foil, LED bulbs and a water-saving shower head.
For larger improvements, the municipality highlights an insulation voucher worth €750, a €1,000 insulation subsidy for homeowners and collective purchasing options for insulating glass and window frames. Support varies by property and location, with some neighbourhood schemes offering benefits of up to €2,300.
The campaign is part of the city’s ambition to improve insulation in 10,000 homes each year. In the previous year, almost 1,000 households requested a direct energy-saving intervention and more than 300 used an energy coach.
Residents should check the conditions for their own address and circumstances before applying. The different amounts are separate schemes and should not be assumed to apply to every household.
