Installed load for sustainable energy production in the Netherlands, 1990-2001

The installed load for the generation of sustainable energy is increasing annually. The largest contribution is made by the combustion and gasification of biomass.

Installed load for sustainable energy

The installed load of production resources for generating sustainable energy is increasing slowly. In relative terms, the largest increases are to be found in solar energy and biomass combustion.

Technical note

The definitions and method used are in accordance with the Sustainable Energy Monitoring Protocol (Novem, 1999).
