By 2030, the country will no longer be able to meet the full electricity demand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">High-voltage grid operator TenneT warned of this on Wednesday in its Security of Supply Monitor 2026, an annual advisory report to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">TenneT estimates the power shortage at a maximum average of about 4 hours per year, which could rise to 37-46 hours in 2035.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">A temporary electricity shortage does not necessarily mean that the entire country is without power. However, i<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">n the event of such an electricity shortage, the lights could go out in parts of the country, for example. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Potential problems will primarily occur during the morning and evening hours in winter, as households and businesses typically use the most electricity at those times.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Increasing demand<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The main explanation for shortages is that electricity demand is constantly increasing, for example, due to the rise in electric cars. At the same time, production capacity is limited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">And although solar, wind, batteries, and demand-side management are increasing, TenneT says that they do not fully compensate for prolonged periods of scarcity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">If electricity demand were to increase very rapidly, a shortage could arise as early as 2028. If demand decreases, problems will not arise until 2035.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Time for action<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The Dutch high-voltage grid operator TenneT is calling on the government to take swift action. According to the grid operator, the Netherlands must start building strategic reserves, introduce a capacity mechanism (to compensate companies for keeping capacity available, as in Belgium), and focus more on demand response. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">TenneT also believes that the Netherlands should actively seek alignment with neighboring countries, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark, to build up reserves together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Minister of Climate and Green Growth, Stientje van Veldhoven (D66), has, in any case, already indicated that she takes the situation &#8220;very seriously&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>What about Belgium?<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">When comparing the situation in the Netherlands with Belgium, we see that the country exhibits the same structural trend (more electrification, more renewable energy, need for controllable\/flexible capacity). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Belgium, however, already has a Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM), which pays for capacity to be available during scarcity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Belgium introduced the CRM in 2021. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">In other words, the \u201cinsurance mechanism\u201d in Belgium has already been made operational, with auctions and explicit volumes per delivery year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">However, Belgium is not an island of certainty: Belgian supply also relies on imports, French nuclear availability, gas power plants, batteries, and demand response.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An electricity\u00a0shortage is looming in the Netherlands.
