Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


This table shows the average prices paid for natural gas and electricity. The total prices represent the sum of energy supply prices and network prices.

The total price is the price paid by an end-user, for instance a household or an industrial company consuming energy in their production process. Natural gas used for non-energy purposes or for electricity generation is excluded from the data.

The Dutch government’s energy price cap, set for 2023, has not been taken into account in these figures.

Data available from: 1st semester of 2009

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are provisional for the latest semester and year, definitive for all earlier periods.

Changes as of 29th September 2023:
This table is published for the first time.

When will new figures be published?
New provisional figures will be published three months after the semesters end, at the end of September and at the end of March.

Description topics

Natural gas price
Natural gas is transported per cubic metre. The conversion to Joule is based on de gross calorific value (GCV). 1 m3 = 35,17 MJ (Megajoule). The conversion back to cubic metre: 1 TJ (Terajoule) = 1000 GJ (Gigajoule) = 28433 m3.
The consumption bands are based on annual consumption.
Consumption bands households
569 until 5 687 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: 20 - < 200 GJ.
Most households are in this consumption band.
Consumption bands non-households
28 433 until 284 333 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: 1.000 - < 10.000 GJ.
28 433 324 m3 and higher
When expressed in GJ this equals: ≥ 1.000.000 GJ
Electricity price
1 MWh (Megawatthour) = 1000 kWh (Kilowatthour) = 3,6 GJ (Gigajoule).
The consumption bands are based on annual consumption.
Consumption bands households
2,5 until 5 MWh
Most households are in this consumption band.
Consumption bands non-households
500 until 2 000 MWh
150 000 MWh and higher
