Renewable electricity; production and capacity

Beschrijving

This table contains information about the Dutch production of renewable electricity, the number of installations used and the installed capacity of these installations. During production, a distinction is made between normalised gross production and non-standard gross and net production without normalisation.

Production of electricity is shown in million kilowatt hours and as a percentage of total electricity consumption in the Netherlands. The production of renewable electricity is compared with total electricity consumption and not against total electricity production. This choice is due to European conventions.

The data is broken down according to the type of energy source and the technique used to obtain the electricity. A distinction is made between four main categories: hydro power, wind energy, solar power and biomass.

Data available from: 1990.

Status of the figures:
This table contains definite figures until 2018 and revised provisional figures for 2019.

Changes as of 16 December 2020:
The figures for the use of renewable electricity in 2019 have been updated but keep the status revised provisional. Some figures for 2018 have been revised, to wit: the electrical capacity and production figures of solar photovoltaic installations, the electrical capacity of installations processing municipal waste and production figures of biomass boilers.

When will new figures be published?
Provisional figures on electricity output for the previous year are published each year in February. Revised figures on electricity output for the previous year are published each year in June. Definite figures on electricity output for the previous year are published each year in December.
