How prepared is the Netherlands to withstand such a major shock in the short-term?

Average energy prices for consumers Natural gas, electricity

Dutch greenhouse gas emissions, calculated according to the IPCC directives, by source category

This note aims to provide data that may help to quantify electrification in the Netherlands from 2017 - 2021 for the most releant technologies currently being used: heat pumps and electric cars

In 2021, electricity production declined by 2.2 billion kWh year on year, to 117.9 billion kWh.

Electricity supplied to data centres, 2017-2019

In 2020, net electricity production was 1.3 billion kWh higher than in 2019, reaching the highest level ever measured.

In Q3 2020, net electricity production was 3.8 billion kWh higher than in Q3 2019.

In 2019, greenhouse gas emissions declined by 3 percent (5.7 megatonnes) to 182.5 megatonnes of CO2 equivalents year-on-year.

Production of electricity, capacity and supply of wind On land/ off shore

In 2017, nearly 60 percent of renewable electricity production originated from wind power, 13 percent from solar power.

Energy consumption rose by 2 percent in 2016 to 3,131 petajoules.

In 2016, power stations consumed less coal for the first time since 2011. Coal consumption was 10 percent down on 2015.

After a 3-year period of decline, the production of electrical energy grew by 2 percent last year to 103 billion kWh. The increase is predominantly due to a higher foreign demand.

For the first time, wind is the main energy source for renewable electricity. In 2014, wind turbine-generated electricity was approximately 8 percent up from 2013. At the same time, electricity...

Electricity consumption in the Netherlands rose from just over 7 billion kWh in 1950 to 119 billion kWh in 2013, an average increase of 4.5 percent per year. Until 2008, electricity consumption only...

The natural gas price for private sector companies was raised considerably over the last three years. Companies with a small to medium-sized consumption level faced the most substantial price...

Last year, 4.5 percent of total Dutch energy consumption was generated by means of renewable energy sources, i.e. the same as in 2012.

Last year, 102 billion kWh of electricity were generated in the Netherlands, nearly 10 percent down from one year previously, but the level of imports and exports of electricity was higher than ever...

Last year, 12.2 billion kWh of renewable electricity was generated, i.e. more than 10 percent of total electricity consumption in the Netherlands and just above the production level in 2011.

Total electricity production in the Netherlands amounted to 113 billion kWh in 2011. This is 4 percent less than in the previous year. In the four preceding years, electricity production had risen...

Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands were more than 6.5 percent lower in 2011 than in 2010. This was caused by a decrease in energy consumption of nearly 7 percent.

At the same time production at gas-fired electricity plants was at its lowest level of the last ten years.

Dutch households had to pay 6 percent more for electricity in the first quarter of 2012, while for large-scale business users prices fell in the same period. The price of natural gas has risen by...
