Electricity; production and means of production

This table shows the production of electricity, the input of fuels, and the use of installations, in the Netherlands. 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 Electricity only (Eonly) 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: From 1998 onwards.

Status of the figures: Figures 1998-2021 are definite. The 2022 figures are revised provisional.

Changes as of the November 2023: The figures for the years 2015-2020 have been revised. Figures for 2021 and 2022 have been updated. The revisions relate to the introduction of an improved analysis method in 2022, which has been carried back to previous years. Furthermore, data from a limited number of companies have been revised based on new insights. The adjustments are generally small; the adjustment in the total production and use of the various energy carriers is less than 1 percent in all years.

When will new figures be published? In November 2024 definite figures 2022 and revised provisional figures 2023 will be published.
