Electricity balance; supply and consumption

This table shows the supply of electricity. Consumption is calculated from the offer. The supply of electricity concerns production plus imports minus exports. Most of the electricity produced is delivered to the public electricity grid by, for example, power plants and wind turbines. A smaller part is generated by companies themselves for the benefit of their own business processes. For example, many gardeners generate electricity for the lighting of their greenhouses. Net production is determined as gross production minus the own consumption of electricity. Self-consumption is the amount of electricity that a producer or installation consumes in electricity production. Net production is broken down in this table by the following energy sources from which the electricity is produced: nuclear energy, coal, oil products, natural gas, biomass, other fuels (non-renewable), hydropower, wind power, solar power and other sources. Imports and exports shall be further broken down by country of origin or destination. The total net consumption of electricity in the Netherlands is calculated as net production plus imports minus exports and distribution losses. Data available from: Full monthly data will be available from 2015. As of 1936 per year and from 1976 per month, only total production, imports and exports are known. Status of the figures: — final until 2019; — 2020 and 2021 further provisionally; — 2022 for now. Amendments as of 31 October 2022: Figures for August 2022 have been added. When are new figures coming? Preliminary figures: the second month after the end of the reporting period. Further preliminary figures: no later than December of the year following the reporting year. Final figures: no later than December of the second year following the reporting year.
