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 1998-2019 are definite. The 2020 and 2021 figures are revised provisional.
Changes as of the 2nd of February 2023:
Revised provisional figures of 2021 have been added.
When will new figures be published?
February 2023: Definite figures of 2020
December 2023: Definite figures of 2021 and provisonal figures of 2022.
Description topics
- Installed capacity
- The amount of electricity or heat that can be generated, per unit of time, during normal operation of all available electricity and heat production installations based in the Netherlands.
- Electrical power
- The amount of electricity that can be generated, per unit of time, during normal operation of all available installations of electricity production. Refers to gross power generation, i.e. power used within the plant itself has not been taken into account.
- Thermal power
- The amount of heat that can be generated, per unit of time, during normal operation of all available combined heat and power installations.
The unit used is MJ/h.
- Installations
- Number of installations, based in the Netherlands, that can generate electricity and/or heat. Excluded solar energy installations, because their number can not be determined exactly.
