The Netherlands runs one of Europe's most gas-dependent electricity grids — gas-fired CCGTs covered ~50% of generation in 2024 — but is also the EU's fastest renewables-deployer per capita. TenneT operates the joint Netherlands TSO role and the German DE-LU bidding zone, making the country one of Europe's most electrically integrated. Solar PV expanded explosively after the 2018 SDE++ reform: by 2024, over 22 GW was installed — roughly one panel per resident — covering ~17% of annual demand and frequently driving midday prices below zero in spring.

Offshore wind in the North Sea has grown to ~5 GW with another 21 GW contracted by 2032. The single Borssele nuclear reactor (~3% of supply) will be joined by 2–4 new units in the 2030s under the 2024 government plan.

Coal generation ends in 2030; the Maasvlakte 3 plant is among the youngest coal units in Europe to be retired prematurely.
