The leading renewable sources in the country are biomass, wind, solar and both geothermal and aerothermal power (mostly from ground source and air source heat pumps). Despite the historic usage of wind power to drain water and grind grain, the Netherlands today lags 21 of the 26 other member states of the European Union in the consumption of energy from renewable sources. In contrast, resources such as coal, oil and natural gas are not renewable as they are limited. The indicator shows the gross final consumption of energy from renewable energy sources (RES), expressed as a share of the gross final consumption of energy from all sources. *Note: As of Final updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) 2021-2030. This was 2%. In 2023, 48 percent of electricity was generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind and water. 3 % between 2005 and 2023. The renewable energy landscape in the Netherlands continues to evolve rapidly. It is expected that a new Heat Act will follow shortly. Other important developments include measures to mitigate grid.
