Total installed solar panel capacity grew less than in 2022.

In 2022, energy production from solar panels rose by 46 percent on the previous year. This was mainly due to the use of new solar panels.

In 2022, renewable energy accounted for 15 percent of gross national energy consumption. This was still 13 percent in the previous year.

In 2021, renewable energy accounted for 12 percent of total energy consumption in the Netherlands.

Renewable energy, final use and avoided fossil energy and avoided CO2 wind, solar, hydro, geothermal energy, aerothermal heat and biomass

In 2019, the installed capacity of commercial and industrial solar systems exceeded that of home solar systems for the first time. Total installed capacity grew by 2,265 to 6,874 megawatts (MW).

In 2019, the Netherlands generated 18 percent more electricity from renewable sources than in the previous year. The increase was 11 percent in 2018.

In 2018, the Caribbean Netherlands produced 136 million kWh of electricity. Of this amount, 45.1 million kWh came from renewable sources, equivalent to 33 percent of total electricity production.

Production of electricity, capacity and supply of wind On land/ off shore

In 2018, renewable energy sources accounted for 7.4 percent of total Dutch energy consumption, up from 6.6 percent one year previously. More than half of this increase was due to higher biomass...

In 2018, the Netherlands generated 8 percent more electricity from renewable sources than in the previous year. Electricity production from solar power increased in particular.

In 2017, nearly 60 percent of renewable electricity production originated from wind power, 13 percent from solar power.

Consumption of wind and solar energy rose, consumption of energy from biomass sources decreased slightly

Consumption of renewable energy went up to 5.8 percent in 2015.

The number of solar panels installed in the Netherlands has grown further in 2011. Total capacity was raised by 40 megawatts, i.e. twice as much as in 2010.

Since the subsidy on solar electricity systems was abolished in 2003, sales of solar electricity systems on the Dutch market have plummeted. Last year, few new systems were added. Nevertheless, Dutch...
