Gross electricity production from wind energy is calculated according to the definitions from the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). The aim is to correct production for changes in weather conditions and thus neutralise fluctuations in the supply of wind energy.
See also the publication: ‘The Impact of RED III on Renewable Energy Calculations’ and the ‘Protocol for Monitoring Renewable Energy drawn up by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO)’ for background information on the calculation of the values mentioned in this news release.
