About electricity in Netherlands
The Netherlands runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets, the standard across continental Europe.
Grid & history
Coal is being phased out, with offshore wind in the North Sea and rooftop solar as the growth areas. Natural gas was historically dominant but has been in steep decline since the Groningen field’s closure.
Availability
The Dutch grid is among the most reliable in the world.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard everywhere, and Type C plugs slot in directly.
Energy mix
Offshore wind is the fastest-growing source.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter is all you need.
- NS trains have power sockets in most carriages.
