Energy prices in the Netherlands

The cheapest energy supplier can vary depending on factors such as your location and energy consumption. Use our comparison tool to compare current rates and find the most affordable option for you.

Several factors determine the amount of your monthly payment when determining it. One of these factors is the current energy tariff rate. Another factor is your own energy consumption, which varies from household to household. These two factors make it impossible to say what a normal monthly payment is.

What you can look at, however, is your energy consumption. There is an estimated average consumption per household. Comparing this to your own consumption will give you an idea of whether your consumption is in line with the average. Additionally, by regularly comparing rates, you can keep track of all the tariffs. This way, you can determine whether your energy tariff is higher, lower, or the same as the current energy tariff rates and see if you can save on your energy bill.

The reliability of an energy supplier can change. Look at customer reviews and the reputation of the supplier to find the most reliable option.

Whether you should fix your energy contract for 1 or 3 years depends on your personal preference and situation. Short-term contracts offer flexibility, while long-term contracts can provide stability at fixed rates. Consider what suits you best.
