The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has published the tariff proposals of the system operators for 2027. ACM will assess the system operators’ tariff proposals, and will hand down a decision in November 2026. As already revealed by previous ACM estimates, Dutch households and businesses with connections to the regional electricity and natural-gas networks (distribution networks) are expected to pay, on average, 20 percent more next year for the transport of electricity and natural gas. For an average household, this represents an increase of approximately 89 euros per year for electricity and 52 euros for natural gas.
The higher transport tariffs for electricity are predominantly associated with the large investments that are needed for expanding and upgrading the congested grid. Over the next few years, system operators must make large-scale investments in, among other things, new cables, compact (transformer) substations, and high-voltage stations. Since households and businesses consume less and less natural gas, the costs for the natural-gas network must be spread over an ever-shrinking group of users. ACM sees to it that system operators only get the efficient costs compensated through the tariffs.
