The fraction of renewable energy in The Netherlands was 6.3%.
Electricity production by wind was 20% lower than in August 2014, although wind
capacity increased by 20% y-o-y.
Average utilization of wind capacity was (just) 17% and of solar-PV, it was 16%
Coal usage in Dutch power generation increased by 40% y-o-y.
Dutch CO2 emissions increased by 2% compared to August 2014.
The fraction renewable power was 9.9%, down from 11.6% in August 2014.
For each month in 2015, both the production of renewable energy and the emission of
CO2 have increased in the Netherlands.

Final Energy Demand
August 2015
Energy is used for many different purposes. In August 2015, the most
important applications were gas and various forms of transport. Renewables
are given by comparison.

CO2 Emissions
August 2015
The national CO2 emissions for August 2015, excluding power imports, feedstock and international
shipping & aviation, are estimated at 11.8 Mton. This is 2% higher than in August 2014. The main CO2
contributions come from the power sector and road transport.

Daily power demand shows a week-weekend pattern. Daily gas demand
(excluding gas demand for power) from industry has a similar pattern. In
summer, little gas is used for the heating market.

August 2015 had little wind. Hence, although there was a significant increase in installed
capacity, less wind energy production decreased by 22% compared to August 2014.
1 GWh is sufficient to provide power for a year to 300 households.

Coal utilization for power generation is structurally about 35% higher in 2015 compared to
2014. In August, the average utilization rate of coal-fired power stations in the Netherlands
has been calculated at 72%. This percentage includes the effects of maintenance.

This presentation is based on numerous sources which present data on energy
demand and supply in The Netherlands. These data, however, do not cover the
entire energy system. Some approximations and scaling factors were thus
needed. The author would like to thank students from Hanze University of
Applied Science in Groningen and various energy experts in The Netherlands
which gave suggestions for improvements of the methods used. Currently, the
aggregated results of this work are in good agreement with data supplied by the
Dutch National Office of Statistics (CBS). It is believed by the author that the
detailed results in this presentation give a fair presentation of the complex
reality of the Dutch energy system.
Nevertheless, the author invites readers to comment on the data provided with
the objective to further improve this work. After all, good and reliable data are
at the heart of any successful policy to make our world more sustainable.
