Solar Power Rules Change in 2027 | Amsterdam News

Starting January 1, 2027, Dutch solar owners face a major shift: net metering is ending, forcing homeowners to use their solar power when it’s made—during peak sun hours—to save money. Exporting electricity will pay far less, and grid power will be fully taxed, making self-consumption the smarter move. Experts recommend scheduling high-energy tasks like laundry or EV charging for midday, using smart plugs or timers if you’re away. Even with dynamic contracts that can offer negative export prices, buying from the grid remains more expensive due to taxes. Home batteries and careful contract selection (fixed vs. dynamic) will become key strategies for maximizing savings and reducing reliance on the grid.
