Statistics Netherlands

This table shows the supply of electricity. Consumption of electricity is calculated from the supply variables. The supply of electricity primarily includes production plus imports minus exports. The majority of the electricity produced is supplied to the public electricity grid by, for example, power stations and wind turbines. A smaller part is generated by companies themselves for the benefit of their own business processes. For example, many greenhouse companies generate their own electricity for the lighting of their greenhouses. The net production is determined as gross production minus the own consumption of electricity. Own consumption is the amount of electricity that a producer or installation consumes during electricity production. The net production is broken down in this table into the following energy sources from which the electricity is produced: nuclear energy, coal, oil products, natural gas, biomass, other fuels (non-renewable), hydro power, wind energy, solar photovoltaic and other sources. Imports and exports are further broken down by country of origin or destination. The total net consumption of electricity in the Netherlands is calculated as the net production plus imports minus exports and distribution losses. Data available: Full data per month is available from 2015. From 1936 per year and from 1976 per month only the total production, imports and exports are known. Status of the figures: All figures up to and including reporting year 2016 are definite. Data from January 2017 onwards are provisional. Changes as of the 30th of April 2020: Figures of February 2020 has been added. When will new figures be published? Provisional figures: the second month after the end of the reporting period. Revised provisional figures: not later than December of the year following the reporting year. Definite figures: not later than December of the second following year.

Electricity is obtained by the transformation of fuels such as natural gas, hard coal and fuel oil; solar and wind energy; and the use of hydro power. The figures are on the production of electricity, the heat released, fuel input, renewable energy commodities and installed capacity, broken down by Combined Heat and Power (CHP) installations and other installations. Finally, a distinction is made between central and decentral production of electricity and heat, where decentral production is broken down by sector. Data available: 1998-2016 Status of the figures: Figures 1998-2014 are definite. The 2015 and 2016 figures are provisional. Changes as of 12 June 2018 The underlying codes of the classifications used in this table have been adjusted. These are now in line with the standard codes set by Statistics Netherlands. The structure and data of the table are not adjusted. Changes as of 29 December 2017 Provisional figures of 2016 have been added. When will new figures be published? Revised figures 1998-2015: 2019. Provisional figures of 2017: December 2018.

During production, a distinction is made between normalised gross production and non-standard gross and net production without normalisation. Production of electricity is shown in million kilowatt hours and as a percentage of total electricity consumption in the Netherlands. The production of renewable electricity is compared with total electricity consumption and not against total electricity production. This choice is due to European conventions. The data is broken down according to the type of energy source and the technique used to obtain the electricity. A distinction is made between four main categories: hydro power, wind energy, solar power and biomass. Data available from: 1990. Status of the figures: This table contains definite figures until 2016 and revised provisional figures as of 2017. Changes as of 4 July 2018: Revised provisional figures have been added. “Figures for “Co-firing of biomass” and “Biomass boilers, companies, electricity” used to be not available from reporting year 2014 onwards, because the number of companies with co-firing was small and it may have been possible to relate data to individual companies. Recently, Statistics Netherlands received permissions from the involved companies to publish the data. Therefore, this table now includes data for the mentioned types of renewable energy for cells which contained dots before.” When will new figures be published? Provisional figures on electricity output for the previous year are published each year in February. Revised figures on electricity output for the previous year are published each year in June. Definite figures on electricity output for the previous year are published each year in December.
