Dataset is not available.
This table shows the supply and the consumption of electricity in a balance sheet. Supply is calculated as the production plus imports minus exports. This calculation of the supply results in the amount of electricity consumed in the period concerned.
This consumption is broken down into how the electricity is delivered via the national grid or via industrial grids and into consumption by the power plants which produce the electricity.
Figures on distribution losses are published as extra information. The distribution losses are already included in the published consumption of the grids.
Data available from 1919 until 2018.

Description topics
- Supply of electricity
- The amount of electricity primarily available for consumption in the Netherlands. Supply is calculated as production plus imports minus exports.
- Total supply
- The amount of electricity primarily available for consumption in the Netherlands.
- Imports
- Imports of electricity transported through high voltage grids. The Netherlands has direct connections with Belgium, Germany, Norway and United Kingdom.
- Exports
- Exports of electricity transported through high voltage grids. The Netherlands has direct connections with Belgium, Germany, Norway and United Kingdom.
- Consumption of electricity
- The amount of electricity delivered to final consumers in the Netherlands. In this table the consumption is broken down into how the electricity is delivered via the national grid or via industrial grids. Electricity power plants also consume electricity to produce electricity.
- Total consumption
- Total consumption of electricity.
- Via national grids
- Deliveries to end consumers by overground and underground grids. The national grid transports electricity from power plants, imports and other producers.
- Via industrial grids
- Consumption of electricity produced on company premises, e.g. in the manufacturing industry, glasshouse horticulture and hospitals.
