KEY CONTEXT
What do installed capacities in Netherlands tell us?
Latest figures
In 2024, total installed electricity capacity is 62 184 MW. Selected renewable capacities include solar 24 772 MW, wind 11 702 MW, hydro 37.7 MW.
What the indicator measures
Capacities are expressed in MW and describe the power of the electricity fleet available at the end of the observed period. They do not directly measure electricity generated.
Important distinction
Comparing solar, wind and hydro describes the structure of the fleet, but actual generation also depends on capacity factors, weather and plant availability.
