Netherlands — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 324 energy assets in Netherlands across 13 layers — the 28th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 166 oil & gas fields, 88 power plants and 29 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 28.0 GW, led by gas at 50%. Refining capacity is about 804 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (48), EBN BV (47) and ENI Energy Netherlands BV (29), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Netherlands's mapped assets in service predate 2005 (median commissioning year of the 189 with a known date), 35 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Tata Steel IJmuiden steel plant, dating from 1918. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Doordewind offshore wind farm (4.0 GW).
