In 2022, renewable energy accounted for 15 percent of gross national energy consumption. This was still 13 percent in the previous year. Consumption of solar and wind energy in particular increased last year. Energy consumption from biomass decreased slightly. This...
In 2021, wind energy consumption in the Netherlands increased by 36 percent and solar energy consumption by 28 percent year on year. Despite these increases, the renewable energy share was lower than in 2020. This is evident from provisional figures...
The electricity production from renewable sources in 2020 amounted to 31 billion kilowatt hours (kWh). This is an increase of 40% compared to 2019. Of the total renewable electricity produced, the largest part was generated with wind turbines, 45%. This...
2020 saw a record in added wind energy capacity in the Netherlands, according to Windstats. In 2020, 2,261 MW was added, almost seven times as many as the year before. The 2020 target for onshore wind, set in the 2013...
With less than 4 GW of installed onshore wind capacity reached at the end of 2019, the Netherlands is still quite far removed from the 2020 target of 6 GW set by the Government in the Energy Agreement (Energieakkoord) in...
Today, WindEurope, the European wind association, released its annual offshore wind report. According to the report, Europe installed a record amount of 3.6 GW of new offshore wind capacity in 2019, bringing the cumulative capacity to 22 GW. The Netherlands...
Renewable energy generation in October increased with 15% compared to the same month in 2018. The higher number came mainly from wind energy, according to statistics by Energieopwek.nl. On average, 33,000 MWh of wind energy per day was generated, with...
WindEurope released their report, Wind Energy in Europe 2018, today. According to the findings, wind energy provided 14% of the EU’s electricity last year, up from 12% in 2017. Wind power capacity rose in Europe by 11.3 GW: 8.6 GW...
Europe added 2.6 GW of offshore wind capacity during 2018. This is an 18% increase with 2017. Offshore wind now represents 2% of all the electricity consumed in Europe. This is the conclusion of the report, ‘Offshore Wind in Europe...
