| hooghweg-energy.nl | Hooghweg Energy BV | The Netherlands is facing a major energy transition, requiring energy savings and increased electricity demand (due to data centers, electric heating, and industry). In 2018, 18.2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity were produced from renewable sources, primarily by wind turbines (55%) and biomass (27%), with a relatively small contribution from solar panels (18%). There is a goal to generate 35 terawatt-hours by 2032 through solar and wind energy, which represents less than 0.3% of the Netherlands' agricultural land. | | solar power 32 renewable energy 77 wind turbine 231 electricity 745 solar panels 4701 energy 9075 | |
