The Netherlands

Equinor in the Netherlands

The Netherlands has ambitious climate targets, with policies aiming for a 55% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. At the same time, energy security and reduced energy dependence are high on the Dutch agenda.

We believe it is essential to develop a decarbonised energy system for Europe that creates jobs, stimulates industry and ensures value creation – as well as providing energy for people and society.

As a broad energy company, we believe our offering of energy sources and solutions can contribute to energy security and decarbonisation of the Netherlands.

Our energy transition plan

The Norwegian provider of energy to Europe

Norway is the largest natural gas supplier to Europe, and Norwegian gas has a very low carbon footprint compared with other gas supply alternatives.

Equinor has been an important energy provider to the Netherlands for many years, in particular with natural gas, and we have a had presence in the Netherlands from the late 1990s when we held an ownership share in a local refinery.

Our Dutch office is in Rotterdam and we are continuously increasing our presence. Here, we are developing renewables projects, including offshore wind, and the team also owns and supports several international projects.

Offshore wind in the Netherlands

Offshore wind will be the key driver for the energy transition in the Netherlands.

Although we don't yet have operational offshore wind farms in the Netherlands, we already supply Europe with enough electricity from renewable offshore wind to power the equivalent of one million homes, and we continue to expand.

We are a global leader in offshore wind, with wind farms and projects in the US, Germany, Scotland, Poland, South Korea and the UK, and a strong presence in the North Sea.

The continuous long-term plan for offshore wind projects in the Dutch North Sea represents an attractive opportunity to increase our presence as a flexible energy provider in the Dutch market and provider of homegrown renewable power to the Netherlands.

We believe close collaboration and dialogue with authorities, local stakeholders and scientific communities are key factors in successfully developing offshore wind in a sustainable manner.
