Investment in climate-change mitigation in the Netherlands was nearly €40 billion in 2024, €2.3 billion below 2023, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reported. Investment in renewables fell from €10.1 billion to €5.5 billion.

Spending on energy networks rose from €5.9 billion to €8.0 billion. CBS says the category includes expanding and reinforcing the electricity grid. The source describes the total as nearly €40 billion, so it is retained as approximate rather than treated as an exact amount.
