This table shows the supply and consumption of natural gas in balance form. The calculation of the supply is as follows: extraction from the soil plus production from other sources plus imports minus exports minus the supply of natural gas to ships sailing abroad (bunkering) plus changes in stocks. The supply is equal to the amount of natural gas consumed in the Netherlands in the same period. This consumption is further broken down according to the method of delivery via the gas network. This consists of a main transmission network with the regional networks linked to it. The large-scale consumers receive gas directly from the main transport network. These are the power plants and large companies. Small consumers, including households, receive natural gas through the regional networks. In addition, there is an entry for natural gas consumption during extraction and transport. Finally, there is a small item of flared or vented natural gas. Data available: From 1946 per year and from 1982 per year, per quarter and per month. Status of the figures: - final until 2020; - 2021 further provisional; - 2022 and beyond are tentative. Changes as of July 31, 2023 Figures for June 2023 have been updated. Changes as of July 14, 2023: Figures for June 2023 have been added. Changes as of 30 June 2023: Figures for May 2023 have been updated. Changes as of June 15, 2023: Figures for May 2023 have been added. Figures for 2022 have been updated. Changes as of December 15, 2022: Figures for 2015 to 2020 have been revised. Storage capacity has been added for 2015-2020. A new database has been published for 2015 and 2016, as a result of which the final stock and storage capacity of natural gas is now also available. Furthermore, the following figures have been improved as a result and are now fully consistent with the Energy Balance: - Consumption during extraction and transport - Flares - Changes in stock - Production from other sources - Power stations Consumption data are only available in the new database for power stations. Changes as of September 2022: Figures for July and August 2022 have been added. Due to continuing unrest in the Dutch and European gas markets, three additions have been made to provide a better picture of the current situation. First of all, for gaseous natural gas, it is reported where the gas enters and leaves the country. It remains difficult to determine the origin and destination of this gas, but the border crossings do provide a picture of the gas flows in our country. In addition, gas storage capacity has been added for both gaseous and liquefied natural gas. This gives an idea of the filling levels of the gas storage facilities in the Netherlands. Finally, a breakdown of the closing stocks into gaseous and liquefied gas has also been made. When will new numbers come out? Provisional figures: half a month after the end of the reporting period. Further provisional figures: no later than July of the year following the year under review. Final figures: no later than December of the second year following the year under review.
