As of 2023, the Netherlands' electricity produced from hard coal stood at 8.71 terawatt hours. Coal was one of the largest sources of electricity generation in the Netherlands up until 2018. However, since then electricity production has notably decreased. In 2020, figures dropped by 57 percent compared to the previous year, and reached the record low of the period under consideration, at 7.6 terawatt hours. As a result, the amount of power generated using gas turbines saw a notable increase in the same time period.
