Providers and contracts

A registration service provider (inboekdienstverlener) registers your verifiable home-charging data with the NEa, converts it into EREs, sells them on the market and pays you the agreed share of the proceeds. Private individuals cannot arrange this with the NEa themselves; the provider holds its own NEa registration for that purpose. Providers differ in commission, payout frequency and contract terms, so it pays to compare them before you sign up.

No, private individuals can’t open a REV account with the NEa themselves to register EREs. That’s only possible through a registered inboekdienstverlener, which supplies the charging data on your behalf, sells the EREs and pays you out. So you do choose a provider, just not a route straight to the NEa. Compare providers on commission, conditions and payout to find the best match.

First check whether the provider is on the NEa register; that’s a basic requirement, not a quality mark. Then compare the commission or rate, the payout frequency, the contract term and any lock-in, and whether the provider suits your situation (private, business or HOA). Read the terms at the provider itself before signing up; our comparison gives an indication, not personal advice.

No. A listing on the NEa register just means a provider is registered to book in EREs, nothing more. The NEa doesn’t approve the provider and says nothing about commission, payout speed or customer service. Assess those points separately, for example through our comparison, and read the provider’s own terms before you choose.

Look at the commission or rate (percentage, fixed annual price or guaranteed price per kWh), the payout frequency, the contract term and whether there’s a lock-in or notice period. Also check whether the provider suits your audience (private, business, HOA) and whether restrictions apply, such as a required platform or charger brand. Our comparison sets these points side by side per provider.

That depends on how much you charge. A yearly minimum weighs heavily if you charge little, and a percentage weighs more if you charge a lot. Groen-laden charges 15%, with a minimum of €34.99 and a maximum of €79.99 per charger a year: at low volume the minimum applies, at high volume the maximum. Run the numbers on your own usage before you choose.

For most providers in our comparison the contract runs 12 months. A few work with a longer term and lock-in, such as Laadpremie and Laadnet (minimum term of up to about 2 years), or offer a lower commission for a longer contract, such as LaadBalans. For some providers the contract term isn’t publicly stated; we show those as “Unknown.” Always check this before you sign.

In practice, yes: your charge point and charging data can only be registered with one provider at a time, so your choice is effectively exclusive for the contract term. Some providers go further and require their own subscription, energy contract or charger back office, such as Vattenfall (charging subscription, Vattenfall electricity contract and an Autel charger) or Laadnet (its own back office). Check for this kind of restriction in the terms, since it can affect how practical switching later is.

An ERE contract typically runs per calendar year, and you’re registered with one provider at a time. Switching is usually only possible from a new calendar year, so first check the notice period with your current provider. Then sign up with the new provider and check that your charge point and meter meet their requirements before ending the old registration.

That depends on the situation and your provider’s terms; there’s no general, published rule on this. In the event of bankruptcy or discontinuation, an amount not yet sold or paid out can become uncertain, depending on pending sales contracts and how things are wound down. Check the terms on this point, keep confirmations of your registration, and if in doubt contact the provider or the NEa.

You sign up with one registration provider at a time, for at least one full calendar year. You cannot switch during the year. That is in the leaflet Inboeken elektriciteit particulieren of 2 February 2026, read on 15 October 2026 (https://www.emissieautoriteit.nl/documenten/2026/02/02/inboeken-elektriciteit-particulieren). The Inboekdienstverleners page says one address or EAN code may be registered by one provider per calendar year, and that a mandate is required per individual EAN (https://www.emissieautoriteit.nl/regelgeving/hernieuwbare-energie-voor-vervoer-eres/inboeken-hernieuwbare-energie-vervoer/inboekdienstverleners). Two chargers on the same connection fall under that one provider. Several cars on one charger are a different question: the ERE is measured at the charger. For a company the mandate is per company, and the connections may change. kWh from 2026 stay with the 2026 mandate. The dates are on /en/switching-ere-provider/.
