Hydroelectricity in the Netherlands information


Linne hydroelectric power plant
Dommelstroom hydroelectric power plant

Despite its long interaction with water, the Netherlands has little potential for hydropower due to its flat topography. The Netherlands has a large resource of moving water in its major rivers but its limited hydraulic head because of little elevation change means that hydropower is a minor component of the country's renewable energy portfolio. A few small hydro plants exist but in total produce less than one tenth of one percent (<0.1%) of the Netherlands' electricity.[1]
