3 The Entrance database on Renewable Energy is regularly improved by the creation and/or refinement of (sub)models Recent improvements In July 2017, the capacity of solar-pv in The Netherlands have been adjusted slightly upwards. In August 2017, the offshore wind submodel was improved slightly, using daily production data from off shore wind parks of Eneco and Gemini In August, a graph has been added to show the split between offshore and onshore wind production Jul-17 Page 3

4 Fraction Renewable Energy until Q The fraction renewable energy has been calculated using the official EU regulations. In July 2017, the Netherlands produced 6.4% of its final energy consumption in the form of renewables. Please note that in international statistics, the amount of wind energy is based on the average wind availability during a consecutive number of years, and not on the actual availability of wind. Jul-17 Page 4

5 July 2017 In a Nutshell In July 2017 the fraction renewable energy was 6.4%, down from 6.7% in July 2016 Solar PV generation was 0.30 TWh, a new record and 35% higher than in July 2016 Wind electricity generation was 0.71 TWh, 30% higher than in July 2016 Gross final energy demand was 40 TWh, 10% higher than last year CO2 emissions from energy usage were 12.5 Mton, 6% higher than year The percentage renewable power was 14%, up form 12% last year Jul-17 Page 5

7 SELECTED ENERGY DATA FROM JULY 2017 Jul-17 Page 7

8 Renewable Energy July 2017 Renewable Energy is produced in various forms. The most important contributors are biomass (biogas, waste, wood and bio-oil) and wind energy. In July 2017, calculated according to the official rules, 6.4% of the gross final energy in the Netherlands was renewable energy. Jul-17 Page 8

9 Final Energy Demand July 2017 Energy is used for many different purposes. The most important energy applications in July have been gas (mainly industry) and oil (various forms of transport). Jul-17 Page 9

10 CO2 Emissions July 2017 In July 2017, the national energy-related CO2 emissions, calculated using the official methods, are estimated at 14.0 Mton, an increase of 0.7 Mton compared to July The main cause is higher energy consumption by industry Jul-17 Page 10

11 Power Generation Capacity July 2017 June 30 th, a 2x535 coal-fired power plant was taken off grid. The capacity in this figure is the socalled name-plate capacity. In practice, not all capacity is available for the market due to planned and unplanned maintenance and mothballing. Jul-17 Page 11

12 Power Supplies July 2017 In July 2017, power consumption, including transmission losses, has been estimated at 9.8 TWh, an increase by 3% compared to last year. Jul-17 Page 12

13 CO2 from Dutch Power Generation July 2017 The daily CO2 emission per kwh produced varies due to variations in the power mix. On average, the CO2 emission due to power generation was 468 g/kwh in July 2017, up from 460 g/kwh in the previous month. Jul-17 Page 13

14 SELECTED MONTHLY PROFILES (using daily data) Jul-17 Page 14

15 Daily Renewable Energy July 2017 The daily contributions of renewable energy, according to the classification by CBS. In July the average daily gross final energy demand was 1290 GWh per day. One GWh is one million kwh or about m3 of natural gas. Jul-17 Page 15

16 Energy Demand July 2017 Daily energy consumption shows a typical weekday-weekend pattern. Gas demand is (partly) dependent on ambient temperature. Jul-17 Page 16

17 Conventional Power Generation July 2017 Conventional power generation was affected by high wind and solar production and high imports. In the first half of July, the nuclear power plant Borssele was off-line. Jul-17 Page 17

18 Daily Wind and Solar Power Production July 2017 July 2017 was characterized by a lot sun and moderate wind. The average utilization rate of the wind turbines was 28%. For solar-pv the average utilization rate was 18%. 1 GWh is sufficient to provide power for a year for 300 households. Jul-17 Page 18

19 Contribution of Renewable Energy July 2017 In July, the percentage of renewable power varied between 8% and 22%, with an average of 13.9%. The average percentage of renewable energy was 6.4%. These percentages have been calculated using the official EU methods. Jul-17 Page 19

20 SELECTED MONTHLY ENERGY DATA Jul-17 Page 20

21 Gross Final Energy Consumption 2017 (and 2016) The gross final consumption of energy is a quantity used to calculate the percentage of renewable energy. This quantity excludes the energy used in the energy sector (mainly due to the production of electricity), for international shipping and for feedstock and the energy used for international aviation above 6.18% of the total Jul-17 Page 21

22 Gas Demand (excluding gas-to-power) 2017 (and 2016) Gas consumption in July, excluding gas-to-power, was slightly higher than last year, due to higher gas usage by industry Jul-17 Page 22

23 Gas Production 2017 (and 2016) In July, Dutch natural gas production was significantly lower than last year. Jul-17 Page 23

24 Power Demand 2017 (and 2016) In July, Dutch power demand, including transmission losses, was 3% higher than last year. Jul-17 Page 24

25 Wind Production 2017 (and 2016) Wind production in July 2017 has been estimated at 0.71 TWh, 30% higher than in July last year. The average utilization of wind capacity, combined onshore and offshore, was 28%. Jul-17 Page 25

26 Solar PV Production 2017 (and 2016) In July 2017, Solar PV reached 0.30TWh. This is 35% higher than last year. The increase in solar-pv capacity was due to more capacity and more sunshine. In July, the average utilization rate of solar-pv capacity was 18%. Jul-17 Page 26

27 Coal-to-Power 2017 (and 2016) For July 2017, coal-fired power generation has been estimated to be slightly higher than in July 2016, due to higher power demand. The closure of 1070 MW of coal-fired generation did not result in a significant reduction. Jul-17 Page 27

28 Gas to Power 2017 (and 2016) For July 2017, gas-fired power has been estimated to be slightly higher than last year. This is due to higher power demand. Jul-17 Page 28

29 LNG imports 2017 (and 2016) This figure depicts the amount of LNG injected into the gas grid. The figure excludes the usage of LNG as transport fuel. Since April, LNG supplies to the Netherlands have considerably increased; however, LNG supplies in July were low. 1 TWh is equal to about 100 million m3 gas December--15 Page 29

30 Renewable Energy All Sources 2017 (and 2016) This assessment is based on various assumptions. In 2017, due to considerable more wind and also more solar generation, renewable energy production is structurally higher than last year Jul-17 Page 30

31 Renewable Energy Percentage 2017 (and 2016) In July, the percentage of renewable energy was 6.4%, this is 0.3% lower than last year. The increase is primarily caused by higher energy demand from industry. (be aware that in international statistics, wind energy production is corrected to average wind speed) Jul-17 Page 31

32 CO2 Emissions 2017 (and 2016) CO2 emissions in July 2017 were slightly higher than in July 2016, due to a higher national energy demand Jul-17 Page 32

33 ENERGY DEMAND IN A NUTSHELL Jul-17 Page 33

34 National Energy Demand July 2017 Dutch government has allocated Energy Demand in four categories. These categories (and this figure) do not take into account energy demand for international shipping, aviation and feedstock. (1 GWh is about equal to the average daily energy production of 40 wind turbines of 3 MW each) Jul-17 Page 34

35 National Energy Demand Low Temperature Heat The primary energy requirement for Low Temperature heat, mainly buildings and green houses, varies with ambient temperature. Jul-17 Page 35

36 National Energy Demand High Temperature Heat The primary energy requirement for High Temperature Heat (mainly industry) varies with the economic activities in the Netherlands. Higher demand in industry indicates economic growth. Jul-17 Page 36

37 National Energy Demand Transportation The primary energy requirement for Transportation (excluding international shipping and aviation) varies with the economic activity in the Netherlands. Fuel purchases abroad, e.g. because of lower taxes, are not included in this figure Jul-17 Page 37

38 National Energy Demand by Power Sector The primary energy requirement for the power sector varies, with the import/export balance and with the production of renewable power. This figure excludes the primary energy demand associated with power imports Jul-17 Page 38

39 National CO2 Emissions July 2017 This figure shows the daily CO2 emission of each of the four demand sectors. This figure does not take into account the energy demand for shipping, aviation and feedstock. (1 kton CO2 is equal to the average daily CO2 emission of households, each using 1500 m3 gas and 3500 kwh electricity annually Jul-17 Page 39

40 National CO2 emissions Low Temperature Heat The CO2 emissions from low temperature heat, mainly buildings and green houses, vary with ambient air temperature. July was a warm month and hence, energy demand from buildings was very low. This figure excludes the CO2 emissions due to the production of electricity used for low temperature heating Jul-17 Page 40

41 National CO2 emissions High Temperature Heat CO2 emissions from high temperature heat, mainly industry, vary mainly with the economic activity in the Netherlands Jul-17 Page 41

42 National CO2 emissions Transportation CO2 emissions from Transportation (excluding international shipping and aviation, which are not accounted for in the national CO2 emissions) vary with the economic activity in the Netherlands. Fuel bought abroad, e.g. because of lower prices, is not included in this figure as well Jul-17 Page 42

43 National CO2 emissions by Power Sector CO2 emissions from the power sector vary with the amount of coal used for power generation, the amount of renewable power produced, and the level of power imports Jul-17 Page 43

44 SELECTED HOURLY ENERGY DATA Jul-17 Page 44

45 Gas Supply July 2017 Gas supplies are related to ambient temperatures. During July, the gas storages were being filled. This is represented in the graph by negative values. Gas supplies include Dutch consumption and exports Jul-17 Page 45

46 Gas Demand Including Gas-to-Power July 2017 Domestic gas demand in July peaked at 40 GW. In this graph, the term industry is defined as direct connections to the Gasunie grid. The term distribution includes households, offices, commercials and many small and medium size industries that are connected to the gas distribution grids Jul-17 Page 46

94 Epilogue This presentation is based on numerous sources on energy demand, supply and production in The Netherlands. Unfortunately, these sources do not cover the entire Dutch energy system, nor do these sources provide the insights needed for this presentation. Thus, various approximations and scaling factors were derived and used. The author would like to thank students from Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen and various consulted energy experts for there feedback on the methods used. Currently, the aggregated results of this work are in good agreement with data supplied by the Dutch National Office of Statistics (CBS) and it is believed that the this presentation gives a fair presentation of the complex reality of the Dutch energy system. Nevertheless, the author invites readers to comment on the data provided to further improve this work. After all, good and reliable data are at the heart of any successful policy to make our world more sustainable. Jul-17 Page 94
