The largest foreign customers were Germany with 21.1 billion cubic meters, France with 5.7 billion cubic meters and Belgium with 5.6 billion cubic meters. In 1998, the Netherlands also imported 11,939 GWh and exported 206 GWh. The total domestic consumption amounted to 83,295 GWh of which 31,320 GWh by industry. Electricity production in the Netherlands has traditionally been dominated by four major power producing companies. In 1998, power producer EPON in the east of the Netherlands, UNA in the midwest, EPZ in the south, and EZH in the west accounted for a combined output of 60.3 billion KWh, roughly 64 percent of the total power output.
Domestic production is supplemented by imports from Belgium, France, Germany and Norway.
Imports currently account for roughly 12 percent of the total electricity supply. The Dutch electricity sector has been struggling with excess capacity for some time. Consequently, major investments in electricity generating equipment are not foreseen in the coming years. Enter a company name or a portion of the name. Use quotes to group words together.
