Future views about the Dutch power

system
 Future views about the Dutch power
system
By 2030, solar photovoltaic systems (PV)
and wind energy are expected to have a
cumulative share of over 60% of the total
capacity, while coal power generation is
expected to be phased out by 2028.
According to the national report, the Dutch
government’s decision to completely phase
out both coal power generation and
Groningen gas field in 2030 is expected to
result in massive renewable capacity
addition in the Dutch energy mix by 2030.
The Netherlands is expected to transform
into a net exporter of electricity from an
1 2 importer in a decade’s time. The likely
transformation can be attributed to massive
renewable capacity addition to the tune of
over 40 GW by 2030.
Also, there have been fluctuations in
economic growth trajectory from 2008 to
3 4 2018, the annual power consumption
over the given time-period has remained
steady with an average decline of only
0.37%, while the same is expected to
increase at 0.5% CAGR in the next five
years.
