Dutch grid congestion in four figures
Citable snapshot of the Dutch electricity grid. Every number is taken directly from the latest national snapshot (2026-08-04).
Consumption queue
7.8 GW
MW requested by would-be consumers (data centres, electrification, EV hubs) that DSOs have not yet allocated.
Feed-in queue
9.7 GW
MW requested by would-be producers — solar farms, batteries in feed-in mode, wind projects.
MW unlocked once TenneT caps lift
29.1 GW
Total MW currently capped because a TenneT relief-year is pending. Lifts automatically when that year passes.
Municipalities without an F-grade
197 / 342 (58%)
Share of Dutch municipalities that don't have an F (closed) grade on either consumption or feed-in.
