Solar power in the Netherlands
Solar power in the Netherlands has an installed capacity of around 23,904 megawatt (MW) of photovoltaics as of the end of 2023. Around 4,304 MW of new capacity was installed during 2023.
Market research firm GlobalData projects Dutch solar PV capacity could rise to 55,000 MW (55 GW) by 2035. Longer-term projections from the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research estimate national PV capacity could reach 180 GW by 2050.
2008 Subsidies of 33 euro cents per kWh were introduced but initially failed to attract much development. However, when they were curtailed, the Dutch banded together to make large purchases at discount instead.
2011 A 500-kilowatt solar array was added to the roof of Rotterdam's central train station.
2012 Solar capacity more than doubled to 321 MW with new added capacity of 175 MW.
2013 According to the Dutch grid operators, solar capacity grew to a cumulative power of 655.4 MW at the end of 2013
2014 By August 2014, the total had reached 1 GW mark for the first time.
2015 The Netherlands saw its capacity grow by around 357 MW during 2015, the fourth highest in Europe in that year, its installed capacity per inhabitant remained low at 83.1 Watts per inhabitant compared to the European average of 186.1 Wp/inhab, in particular compared to its neighbour Belgium at 286.7 Wp/inhab.
