Energy
What Dutch households pay for electricity and gas, how that compares with Europe and the US, and how fast the Netherlands is switching: renewables, heat pumps, solar panels and electric cars.
Live grid and gas storage
Where Dutch electricity comes from hour by hour, how hard each source is running, and how full the gas storages are. Collected hourly from NED.nl; the yearly CBS figures further down remain the official totals.

Utilization
share of installed capacity in useNED's load factor per source. Nuclear and "other" are reported near 100% almost constantly, so treat those as estimates.
Generation and consumption
weekStacked: generation by source. Dashed: consumption (gap above it is export). Red: grid CO₂ intensity. * = incomplete (still running or hours missing).

monthlyNED has no gas consumption series here, so this compares how much electricity is made from gas with how full storage is.

Household tariffs in the Netherlands
Electricity price per kWh
€/kWh incl. VAT · variable supply + energy tax (CBS) and all-in average 2007–2022Since 2023 the energy tax reduction (≈ €600 a year) is a fixed credit, so the marginal kWh is pricier than the average bill. The 2023 price cap is not included.
