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?
Provisional figures: In November the following next year.
Defintie figures : In December the second following next year.
Description topics
- Input
- The amount of fuel input used for the production of electricity and/or heat.
- Physical energy units
- Cubic metres, litres, kilograms, kilowatt hours for measuring quantities of energy.
- Total input
- This is the total of natural gas input, fuel oil input, hard coal input and other fuel input used for the production of electricity and/or heat.
The unit TeraJoule (TJ) is used. This equals 1,000,000,000,000 joules (10 to the power of 12).
- Natural gas input
- Input of natural gas used for the production of electricity and/or heat.
Natural gas is a gaseous fuel of natural origin mainly consisting of methane. It results from the same process that leads to the formation of crude oil. Natural gas is liquefied for transport over long distances by ship.
1 million m3 of natural gas is about 31.65 TJ.
- Fuel oil input
- Input of fuel oil used for the production of electricity and/or heat.
This oil remains after the distillation in the refinery.
24,000 kg of fuel oil is about 1 TJ.
- Hard coal input
- Input of hard coal used for the production of electricity and/or heat.
Hard coal is a fossil fuel existing of carbonized rests of vegetal origin.
40,000 kg hard coal is about 1 TJ.
- Other fuel input
- Input of other commodities used for the production of electricity, such as chemical and industrial gases, biomass, waste, blast furnace gas, nuclear material and steam.
The unit TeraJoule (TJ) is used. This equals 1,000,000,000,000 joules (10 to the power of 12).
