Netherlands Organisation
Renewable Energy
NVDE: Companies and RE
organisations: direct and
indirect 1000 companies en
institutions. Involve hundreds of
megawatts RE production
capacity, form offshore wind to
geothermal and solar fields.
Lobby: NVDE working group
Decentralised Power
Production (lead: Holland
Solar) develops plans for new
net metering regulations, for
period after 2020
Policy developments
1. Net metering
2. Arrangement “Low Energy Tax” for
Energy co-operatives
3. SDE+ (auction scheme RE subsidy)
4. Other support schemes
1. Net metering regulation:
reconstruction needed
• Major driver behind popularity of PV for consumers and
the growth of Dutch PV capacity
• Full net metering of all consumed kWh
• Additional kWh injected: for market price
• Regulation to be evaluated in 2017
• Formally operational until 2020
• Customers convinced that this will end in 2020, so
market feels reduced demand already
• Solar sector strong advocate of continuation after 2020
Net metering
• Discussions about follow-up regulation in NVDE working group, with
suppliers, DSO’s, customers and solar industries, chaired by Holland
Solar
• Is considered “Over stimulation” in some years
• Has no option to adapt to market price
• Does not stimulate innovation (e.g. storage)
• Excludes energy suppliers to develop viable proposition to clients
• Reduces energy tax income for government
• On long term can burden energy networks
• Important principles for alternative after 2020 are: sustainable and
continuous growth of PV capacity, good market conditions, simple
administration, smooth transition
• Initial discussions already took place with Government (Economic
Affairs and Finance)
2. Arrangement Lower Energy Tax
for Energy Co-operatives
• Started in 2014 (as a result of lobby) for consumers with
no suitable roof.
• Consumers required to form Energy Cooperative
• Also called: “Postal Code Arrangement”, because
members should live in connected postal areas
• Consumers (private and SME) are allowed to exploit an
installation together for self supply
• Tax reduction on “self delivered” electricity was 7.5
ct/kWh, increased to 9 ct/kWh. Early 2016: no tax at all
• From 2016 this arrangement is expected to become more
and more successful.
3. “SDE+” auction scheme
• Exploitation subsidy designed as an auction tender:
competition amongst RE technologies, with gradually
increasing ct/kWh per phase, but fixed annual budget
• Only larger projects (PV> 15 kWp and > 3*80A)
• Solar-th > 200 m2 collector area)
• Contract for 15 years with clients
• Annual budget: 3,5 billion € (2014, 2015), 8 billion € (2016)
• Generated by RE fee in kWh price (0.56 ct/kWh in 2016)
• Guaranteed until 2023, but after that ?
4. Other support schemes
• Fiscal deduction for companies investing in
energy systems (“Energie Investerings Aftrek”)
• 58% of investment can be deducted from profit
• > 25 kWp
• Subsidy scheme EDS for sports facilities
• Subsidy scheme for “removal asbestos in
combination with installation solar” (agriculture)
• ISDE scheme for solar thermal (and WP)
