According to the official website of the Dutch government,in 2018,the solar power generation in the Netherlands increased by 50% year on year,and the wind power generation was basically flat.The proport -ion of renewable energy in the power structure increased to 17% compared with 15% in 2017,and the pr -oportion of renewable energy in the total energy consumption structure increased from 6%.Six percent goes up to seven.3%.
According to the statistics,the output of solar pv in the Netherlands increased from 2 percent in 2017.2 TWh goes up to 3.47 TWh,about 3% of total electricity consumption.
Wind turbines generate about 10 percent.8TWh of electricity,of which 6.9TWh from land,3.9TWh comes from the sea.Wind power accounts for nearly 9 per cent of electricity consumption in the Netherlands, unchanged from the previous year.The Netherlands plans to have 49 terawatt-hours of offshore wind by 2030, but will not start doing so until 2020.
In addition,in 2018,biomass power generation will increase from 4 percent.7 TWh increased to 5.8 TWh.Dutch energy website Energeia reports that large-scale projects were responsible for the robust growth in solar photovoltaic production.The Certiq certified large projects' solar photovoltaic capacity doubled in 2018 to 1,523 megawatts.
According to solar energy expert Peter Segaar cited by Energeia,the Netherlands' total solar photovo-ltaic capacity expanded by 50 percent to 4 percent.3-4.5 gw.Segaar estimates that residential photovolta -aic power generation has increased from about 2 gw to 3 gw.The proportion of large projects on the Dutch market has grown from a quarter in 2017 to about a third.
One big reason why solar is growing faster than onshore wind is the way the Dutch support programme, known as SDE+,works.It is based on tenders and subsidises very low-cost bidders based on co2 reduction -s.As a result,solar photovoltaic projects have overwhelmingly won tenders.
