Dataset is not available.
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.
Description topics
- Output
- The total amount of electricity and/or heat generated in the Netherlands from the input of fuels, nuclear energy, wind energy, solar energy and hydro power. This includes the own consumption of the power plants to produce the electricity.
- Physical units
- Cubic metres, litres, kilograms, kilowatt hours for measuring quantities of energy.
- Electricity output
- The total amount of electricity generated in the Netherlands from the input of fuels, renewable energy, nuclear energy and other energy commodities. This includes the own consumption of the power plants to produce the electricity.
- Units of heat
- For comparabiity and addability of energy commodities, the physical quantities of energy commodities can be converted into the heat or energetic unit Joule.
The following relations exists between physical units and units of heat:
1 million m3 of natural gas equals about 31.65 terajoule (TJ = 1 000 miljard Joule).
1 million kg of fuel oil equals about 42 TJ.
1 million kg of hard coal equals about 25 TJ.
1 million kilowatt hour of electricity (1 Watt equals 1 Joule per second) equals 3.6 TJ.- Electricity output
- The total amount of electricity generated in the Netherlands from the input of fuels, renewable energy, nuclear energy and other energy commodities. This includes the own consumption of the power plants to produce the electricity.
The unit TeraJoule (TJ) is used. This equals 1,000,000,000,000 joules (10 to the power of 12).
- 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.
