Overview
This analysis includes a comprehensive Netherlands energy market report and updated datasets. It is derived from the most recent key economic indicators, supply and demand factors, oil and gas pricing trends and major energy issues and developments surrounding the energy industry. The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.
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
Gas:
Gas production has dropped by 75% since 2013, from 87 bcm to 22 bcm in 2021, due to the production cap imposed on the Groningen field.
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.
Graph: ELECTRICITY PRICES FOR INDUSTRY AND HOUSEHOLDS (€c/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.
