Table explanation


This table shows regional figures on the average consumption of energy (natural gas and electricity) of private dwellings broken down by type of dwelling and ownership for Nederland, group of provinces, provinces and municipalities. Besides, for total dwellings only, the share of heat distribution (district heating) has been added, because this is relevant for the interpretation of the height of the average consumption of natural gas.

Data available from: 2010

Status of the figures:
All figures from 2010 - 2021 are definite. Figures of 2022 and 2023 are revised provisional. Figures for 2024 are provisional.

Changes as of September 2025:
Figures added for 2024. Figures for 2022 and 2023 have been revised based on smart-meter data. These figures are more accurate than figures based on standard yearly consumption data.

Changes as of October 2023:
Provisional figures of 2022 have been added. Figures of 2021 have been updated.
The category “Average consumption of electricity” is replaced by “Average supply of electricity”
and a category “Average net supply of electricity” has been added.


When will new figures be published?
A revision to the method of this statistic is currently underway, causing the table to be delayed. New figures will come in the 3rd quarter of the folowing year.

Description topics

Average consumption of natural gas
The average annual consumption of natural gas for private dwellings calculated of the connection records of energy companies. The calculation includes dwellings connected to parts of town heating. These dwellings have very low or even nil consumption of natural gas. Because this the average consumption of natural gas of dwellings is lower in areas where parts of town heating is present.

The figures are rounded to fifty numbers and listed at 6 or more (occupied) dwellings by type of dwelling.
