Highlights

  • The country targets a share of 39% of renewables in the final energy consumption and a reduction by 49% of GHG emissions in 2030.
  • The three largest power generators, RWE, Eneco, and Vattenfall, only contribute to around ¼ of total production.
  • Autoproducers represent around 1/3 of total power generation.
  • Gas production has dropped by 89% since 2013.
  • Solar capacity soared by more than 12 GW since 2021 and now represents 43% of the total.
  • The share of renewables in the power mix has increased by 41 points since 2010 to 52% in 2024.
  • Electricity prices for households decreased by 15% in 2024 after quadrupling in 2023. Electricity prices for industries decreased by 20% in 2024 but are still 65% higher than in 2021.
  • The country has the second highest gasoline and diesel price in the EU.
  • Total energy consumption remained stable in 2024, after a steep reduction from 2021 to 2023 (-7%/year).
  • Oil and natural gas dominate the energy mix (39% and 37% in 2024, respectively).
  • The government set a target of 21 GW of offshore wind in 2030, 50 GW in 2040, and 70 GW in 2050.
  • Gasunie aims to build a 10 GW national transport network for hydrogen for early 2030.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth (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 0.8Mt in 2023 (61% of total production). The other producers are Dana (0.2 Mt) and Neptune Energy (0.1 Mt).

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    The Netherlands has significant natural gas reserves (93 bcm of proven reserves at end-2024). Oil resources are scarce (10 Mt).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    To limit the effects of high oil prices, the Government reduced the excise duty on gasoline and diesel by 21% from April to December 2022, and by 30% until June 2023, when it was increased again; it was back to its previous level in January 2024.

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita reached 3.4 toe in 2023 and is 17% higher than the EU average, mainly because of the large refining and petrochemical industries. Per capita electricity consumption is 6 100 kWh, which is 10% above the EU average.

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the Energy and Climate Outlook 2024, primary energy consumption is forecast to decline to 2246 PJ (53.7 Mtoe) in 2030 (range of 2083 to 2346 PJ, i.e. 49.6 to 56.0 Mtoe). The decline would mainly come from space heating for final consumption and would mostly affect natural gas for primary consumption.
