The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) is expecting the nation’s installed PV capacity to have grown almost fivefold from the beginning of this year until the end of the next decade.
A report on the future energy landscape of the Netherlands predicted an additional 5 GW of solar power will have been deployed this year and next, enough to raise Dutch PV capacity to around 9 GW.
For 2023, the agency forecasts the Netherlands will boast 15 GW of solar and by 2030 it is expected to have witnessed another 12 GW, bringing total capacity to approximately 27 GW, of which around 30% will be rooftop arrays.
