This table shows the supply of electricity. Consumption of electricity is calculated from the supply variables. The supply of electricity primarily includes production plus imports minus exports. The majority of the electricity produced is supplied to the public electricity grid by, for example, power stations and wind turbines. A smaller part is generated by companies themselves for the benefit of their own business processes. For example, many greenhouse companies generate their own electricity for the lighting of their greenhouses.

The net production is determined as gross production minus the own consumption of electricity. Own consumption is the amount of electricity that a producer or installation consumes during electricity production. The net production is broken down in this table into the following energy sources from which the electricity is produced: nuclear energy, coal, petroleum products, natural gas, biomass, other fuels (non-renewable), hydro power, wind energy, solar photovoltaic and other sources.

Imports and exports are further broken down by country of origin or destination.

The total net consumption of electricity in the Netherlands is calculated as the net production plus imports minus exports and distribution losses.

Data available:
Annual figures are available from 1929 onwards. Monthly figures on total electricity production, import and export are available from 1976.
Full data per month is available from 2015.


Status of the figures:
- All figures up to and including reporting year 2022 are definite.
- Figures for 2023 are revised provisional.
- Figures for 2024 and 2025 are provisional.

Changes as of March 31st 2025:
Figures added for January 2025.

Changes as of February 28th of 2025:
Figures for December 2024 have been added.
This table has been revised for 2015 to 2021 as a result of new methods that have also been applied for 2022 and 2023. This concerns changes of a maximum of a few PJ of the total supply and consumption on an annual basis.

Changes as of January 31st of 2025:
Figures for November 2024 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
Provisional figures: the second month after the end of the reporting period.
Revised provisional figures: June of the year following the reporting year.
Definite figures: not later than November of the second following year.
