Coal was one of the largest sources of electricity generation in the Netherlands up until 2018. However, electricity production from hard coal began falling. In 2020, figures dropped by 57 percent compared to the previous year, and reached the record low of the period under consideration, at 7.6 terawatt hours. As a result, the amount of power generated using gas turbines saw a notable increase in the same time period.
