Overview

The Netherlands focuses on transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing grid infrastructure, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and expanding hydrogen and carbon capture initiatives.

Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.

Highlights

  • The country targets a 39% share of renewables in the final energy consumption and at least a 55% reduction in GHG emissions in 2030.
  • The three largest power generators, RWE, Eneco, and Vattenfall, only contribute around 30% of total production, while autoproducers represent 35% of the total.
  • Solar capacity has soared by more than 11 GW since 2021 and now represents 41% of the total.
  • The share of renewables in the power mix has increased by 39 points since 2010, reaching 50% in 2025.
  • Electricity prices for households are in 2025 three times higher than in 2022, why they are close to their 2021 level in industry.
  • The country has the second highest gasoline and diesel price in the EU.
  • The government set a target of 21 GW of offshore wind in 2032, 30-40 GW in 2040, and 70 GW in 2050.
  • Gasunie aims to build a 10 GW national transport network for hydrogen for early 2035.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    EZK, the Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth, through the Directorate-General for Climate and Energy, oversees the establishment of national energy and climate policies.

  • Energy Companies

    Gas:

    GasTerra (State 50%, of which 10% directly and 40% through EBN, Shell and ExxonMobil 25% each) is the country's main supplier. GasTerra has the legal obligation to purchase the gas produced at a price that reflects the market. GasTerra is purchasing decreasing volumes(-5% in 2025 to 22.4 bcm), reflecting the company's ongoing phase-out process and reduced procurement needs.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Gas:

    Gas production has dropped by 89% since 2013, from 87 bcm to 10 bcm in 2025 (-6%in 2025), due to the production cap imposed on the Groningen field.

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Transport:

    The VAT rate is 21%.

    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.

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the Energy and Climate Outlook 2026, primary energy consumption is forecast to decline to 2 090 PJ (53.7 Mtoe) in 2030 (range of 1 950 to 2 180 PJ, i.e. 48.8 to 54.9 Mtoe).
