Why Energy Valley?
Because saving energy isn’t just about using less — it’s about using it smarter and in a more sustainable way. It means knowing when and how to save and making smart energy choices part of your daily life. But we also believe it should be fun and something you can enjoy with others.
That’s why Energy Valley was created — to make saving energy easy, playful, and something we do together. Through games, creativity, and teamwork, Energy Valley helps households across the Netherlands take real steps to save energy and build better habits.
With Energy Valley, you’re not just saving — you’re making a difference, together.
