Factsheet: The Netherlands
The Dutch government aims for 16% of all energy used in the Netherlands to be sustainable by 2023. The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan for the Netherlands for the period 2021-2030 sets the target for renewable energy in the electricity sector at 74.4% for 2030. Targets for renewable energy in heating and cooling have not been mentioned.
Energy storage
Energy storage is essential for the integration of renewables, as it can store energy when prices are low and supply is high, and release this energy when prices are high and supply is limited. Different technologies, such as batteries and pumped storage, are used for energy storage at different scales. Energy storage improves the reliability and resilience of the energy system,
