That’s just a random website. Dutch bureau of statistics:

It seems to disagree with Dutch statistics because the linked view is for April 2026. While the article cited is talking about all of 2024.
replyIf you change the view to look at the year 2024 [1] it claims 53% carbon free with 2.5% of that coming from nuclear. This seems to line up with the cited statistics of 50% of consumed electricity produced by wind, hydropower, solar, and biomass in 2024.

It's not just 'a random website' and it aligns with CBS numbers.
replyThis is just goalpost moving. Only a couple of decades ago we were at a solid 0% everywhere.
reply> The Netherlands: 86%, dominated by solar & wind
replyThe Netherlands: 50%, of which one third is biomass.
As someone living in the Netherlands, I would love to live in energy utopia, but stats reported by people who can’t read Dutch government reports are usually wrong.
Nah about 5% of electricity is from biomass, not 33%. The 33% figure is regarding gross energy production, not electricity. Otherwise agreed.
