Renewable energy; consumption by energy source and technology

This table focuses on the share of renewable energy according to the revised EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). The figures for the period 1990-2024 (calculated according to RED I & II) can be found in the dataset ’Renewable energy; consumption by energy source, technology and application (1990-2024)’. A link to this table can be found in section 3 of this table explanation.

Renewable energy is energy from wind, hydro power, the sun, the earth, heat from outdoor air and biomass. This is energy from natural processes that is replenished constantly.

The figures are broken down into energy source/technique.

This table focuses on the share of renewable energy according to the revised EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED III).

A reference to the table containing figures for the period 1990-2024 (calculated according to RED I & II) can be found in paragraph 3 under 'Relevant tables'.

Data available from: 2025

Status of the figures: Figures for 2025 are revised provisional.

Changes as of June 2026: None. New table.

When will new figures be published? Provisional figures on the gross final consumption of renewable energy in broad outlines for the previous year are published each year in June.

In November all figures on the consumption of renewable energy in the previous year will be published. These figures remain revised provisional, definite figures appear in November two years after the reporting year. Most important (expected) changes between revised provisional figures in November and definite figures a year later are the figures on solar photovoltaic energy. The figures on the share of total energy consumption in the Netherlands could also still be changed by the availability of adjusted figures on total energy consumption.
