Highlights

  • The end of the Groningen gas field's production was delayed at least until 2023.
  • The National Climate Agreement targets a 49% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030.
  • Power generation is dominated by RWE, Vattenfall, Eneco, and Engie.
  • NAM is the largest oil and gas producer with around 60% of market share for gas and nearly 70% for oil.
  • Gas production has dropped by 75% since 2013.
  • The share of renewables in the power mix has increased by 24 points since 2010 to 35%.
  • Electricity and gas prices for households soared in 2022 (doubling for electricity and tripling for gas).
  • The excise price on gasoline and diesel was reduced by 30% from April to June 2023. The country has the highest gasoline price in the EU.
  • Natural gas dominates the energy mix (42% in 2021).
  • Coal is mainly consumed for power generation (63%).
  • The government set a target of 21 GW of offshore wind in 2030 and 50 GW in 2040.
  • Gasunie aims to build a 10 GW national transport network for hydrogen. Commissioning is expected for 2027.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK), through the Directorate-General for Climate and Energy, oversees the establishment of national energy and climate policies.

    The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, through the Directorate-General for the Environment and International Affairs (DGMI), is responsible for environmental policy.

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    NAM is the largest oil producer, with around 0.8 Mt in 2021 (69% of total production). It is followed by Dana (0.2 Mt) and Neptune Energy (0.1 Mt).

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Netherlands has significant natural gas reserves (103 bcm of proven reserves at end-2021). Oil resources are scarce (21 Mt).

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    Electricity prices for households more than doubled in 2022 to €35c/kWh. Electricity prices for industry increased by 73% in 2021 to €20.2c/kWh.

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita reached 4.1 toe in 2021 and is around 25% higher than the EU average, mainly because of the large refining and petrochemical industries. Per capita electricity consumption is 6 400 kWh, which is 20% above the EU average.

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to NEO 2022, the primary energy consumption is forecast to decline by around 7% over 2021-2030. The decline would mainly come from space heating for final consumption and would mostly affect natural gas for primary consumption.

The Netherlands energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Netherlands country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Netherlands Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Netherlands energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
