Jury Judgement:
"The jury believes that the social impact of this innovative concept is very large. DC (direct current) is a very promising solution for the gigantic sustainable energy challenges. The advantages of DC are seen worldwide in the electrification tasks that we face in the coming decades.
The jury is impressed by the enthusiasm to come up with the technical solutions that are needed to make the transition to DC and thereby through cooperation in the Netherlands get the entire world in agreement. ABN-AMRO's Circl is one of the first buildings with DC in the Netherlands. Expo 2022 Floriade Almere is also about to apply it.
What the jury regards as very strong is that Direct Current BV, Mr Stokman, uses standardisation in the international playing field to further the innovation worldwide. DC has the potential to become a compatible system worldwide. The Netherlands has become a global leader in DC thanks to the effort of Direct Current BV."
