About us
Stroomlijnen grew out of life on the road. Touring Dutch theatres with different productions every day showed us where crews ran into trouble and what venues needed. We set up a dedicated company to build a charging system that would work at the stage door.
We want touring to remain possible as the sector moves to electric vehicles. That’s why we keep equipment prices low and offer a dedicated charging rate for cultural organisations.
Charging also supports the wider sector. Through the Cultuurfonds, proceeds can reach artists and organisations that need financial support during the transition.

Supporting the arts
ERE proceeds for the Cultuurfonds
In the Netherlands, eligible electricity supplied to road transport can earn emission reduction units (EREs) when the delivery is registered.
These units can be sold. Stroomlijnen directs the proceeds back into the cultural sector.
All ERE proceeds from Stroomlijnen locations go to the Cultuurfonds to support projects and artists in music and theatre.
