How EnergieTeller works
We use figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS), the Dutch Tax Administration and the Dutch government, and state the source, period and check date for each figure. We only use tax rates once they have been officially adopted. EnergieTeller is independent: not a government website, not an energy supplier and not a price comparison site.
