Feed-in costs and feed-in compensation in 2027 by supplier

Short answer: from 1 January 2027 you can no longer offset exported solar power against your consumption. Your supplier then pays you feed-in compensation per kWh and may charge feed-in costs against it. What you keep is the difference. According to the Consumentenbond overview (rates of 23 September 2026, 1-year fixed contracts), that comes to 0.249 to 4.130 cents per kWh at the 13 suppliers with known figures. A kWh you use yourself, for example to charge your car, saves you the full kWh price including taxes. Your ERE payment doesn’t change.

What changes on 1 January 2027?

The Act of 18 December 2024 (Staatsblad 2025, 17) ends the Dutch net-metering scheme (salderingsregeling) on 1 January 2027. Up to and including 2026, the power you export is offset against the power you draw, including energy tax and VAT. After that, your supplier pays you a “reasonable compensation” for every kWh you export. These rules apply:

• Minimum compensation until 2030. Until 1 January 2030 the compensation is at least 50% of the supply price you agreed. The ACM explains that as the price excluding energy tax and VAT.
• Feed-in costs are separate. Suppliers may charge feed-in costs, but only to customers who export and only for the cost of processing that power. Those costs are deducted from your compensation.
• Not negative. On a small connection, the compensation itself may not be negative when averaged over a month.
• Cancel without a fee. If you signed a combined supply and feed-in contract before 29 January 2025 and your supplier changes it unilaterally because of this law, you pay no cancellation fee if you leave for that reason.

An indication of the minimum: at the average variable supply tariff for August 2026 (CBS: €0.1469 per kWh including VAT, provisional), half of the bare tariff is about €0.061 per kWh. Because every contract has its own supply price, the minimum differs per contract.

Feed-in compensation and feed-in costs in 2027 by supplier

The Consumentenbond, the Dutch consumers’ association, listed the 2027 figures per supplier, using rates of 23 September 2026 for 1-year fixed contracts. We calculated the net amount per kWh ourselves as compensation minus costs, and sorted the table by it. Compensation and costs are shown to five decimals, as published.

Supplier	Feed-in compensation per kWh	Feed-in costs per kWh	Net per kWh (cents)
Eneco	€0.08350	€0.04220	4.130
Oxxio	€0.08240	€0.04216	4.024
Vattenfall	€0.08280	€0.04840	3.440
Budget Thuis	€0.08744	€0.06244	2.500
ENGIE	€0.17109	€0.16221	0.888
Coolblue Energie	€0.09450	€0.08950	0.500
Innova Energie	€0.08884	€0.08614	0.270
DELTA Energie	€0.07625	€0.07375	0.250
Essent	€0.09095	€0.08845	0.250
Greenchoice	€0.05370	€0.05120	0.250
Pure Energie	€0.09500	€0.09250	0.250
Vandebron	€0.07703	€0.07453	0.250
Energiedirect	€0.07991	€0.07742	0.249

Suppliers with the same net amount are listed alphabetically. The order only tells you what you keep per exported kWh. Which contract works out cheapest for you also depends on your supply tariff, the fixed charges and how much you export. You can compare each supplier’s full offer on energy suppliers.

Two things stand out:

• At 9 of the 13 suppliers you keep less than 1 cent per kWh. Their feed-in costs sit just below the compensation.
• A high compensation says little. At €0.17109, ENGIE has the highest compensation in the table, but also the highest costs. Net, that is 0.888 cents. Always look at the difference.

Whose 2027 figures are not known yet?

For four suppliers, the overview still lists the 2027 figures as not known: Clean Energy, Mega, Powerpeers and UnitedConsumers. If you’re a customer there, wait for your offer or ask. Dynamic contracts, including those from ANWB Energie, Frank Energie, Tibber and Zonneplan, have no fixed amount per kWh in the table. We cover them separately below.

Caveats on these figures

• VAT not stated. The Consumentenbond does not say whether the per-kWh figures include or exclude VAT. The legal minimum, by contrast, refers to the price excluding VAT. So compare figures on the same basis.
• 1-year fixed contracts only. Another contract, for example with a longer term or a variable tariff, may come with different figures.
• Offers change. In its own worked example (reference date 25 February 2026, 1-year fixed), Eneco estimated €0.05058 compensation (excluding VAT) and €0.03865 feed-in costs (including VAT) per kWh. The September overview shows €0.08350 and €0.04220. So the figures in an offer can shift within a few months.

How to find your own figures

According to the ACM, your contract states whether your supplier charges feed-in costs, and how much. Many suppliers show the 2027 figures in your personal offer, on the tariff sheet with your contract, or in their app and customer portal. Eneco, for example, points to its app and Mijn Eneco.

• Figures can change. From 1 January 2027 Vattenfall charges an amount per kWh on all the power you export. That amount depends on your contract and can change; Vattenfall tells you at least 30 days in advance.
• On a fixed price. If you have a fixed price with Vattenfall, the feed-in costs are fixed from 1 January 2027 until the end date of your fixed-price period.

Dynamic contracts: market price instead of a fixed amount

With a dynamic energy contract, feed-in works differently. You receive the market price at the moment you export, per hour or per quarter-hour, sometimes with the supplier’s own fee or bonus. According to the Consumentenbond, dynamic suppliers often charge feed-in costs indirectly, through a purchase or sales fee per kWh. This is what four suppliers say about 2027 themselves (alphabetical):

Supplier	What you receive per exported kWh	Separate feed-in costs
ANWB Energie	The current hourly market price	No
Frank Energie	The current market price plus a purchase fee of €0.0182 per kWh; a feed-in bonus of about 15% on the market price for kWh exported during the day, if Frank may control your inverter	No separate item in the formula on its site
Tibber	The exchange price at that moment, bare: no taxes and no purchase fee. The sales fee Tibber pays now is dropped	No
Zonneplan	The quarter-hourly market price plus €0.02 per kWh; if that total is positive, 10% is added on top	No fixed feed-in costs

Frank Energie’s page does not say in so many words that the purchase fee stays the same after 2027. Because the market price keeps changing, these contracts can’t be captured in a single net amount per kWh like the table above.

What does this mean for you?

A kWh you use yourself is a kWh you don’t have to buy. According to the Dutch government, you pay no taxes and no supplier costs on solar power you generate and use directly. In August 2026 the average variable supply tariff was €0.1469 and the energy tax €0.11085 per kWh according to CBS, both including VAT: together about €0.258.

Worked example: 1,000 kWh of solar power

Assumptions: 1,000 kWh of solar power that you would otherwise export in 2027; the lowest and the highest net compensation from the table; an electricity price of €0.258 per kWh (CBS, August 2026). We assume that price stays the same in 2027, although your price may differ by then.

1,000 kWh of solar power	Earnings or savings
Export at the lowest net compensation (0.249 cents)	€2.49
Export at the highest net compensation (4.130 cents)	€41.30
Use it yourself instead of buying (€0.258 per kWh)	about €258

In this example, using the power yourself is worth about €217 to €256 more than exporting it. That only applies to power you would otherwise actually have bought. Treat it as an indication: your own supply price differs from the CBS average, and it is not known whether the table’s figures include VAT.

Charging your car on solar power

An electric car is a big consumer that you can often shift to sunny hours: at weekends, on working-from-home days or in summer. According to Milieu Centraal, smart charging your car has about the same effect on your self-consumption as a home battery: from about 30% to over 50% of your solar power. For a worked example with charging costs and ERE, see end of net metering 2027: charging on your own solar power.

A home battery

A home battery shifts solar power from the afternoon to the evening. A stored kWh is then worth the kWh price you don’t have to pay, minus the net compensation you miss out on. Even so, buying one is no guaranteed win. Milieu Centraal expects that, at the moment, you probably won’t earn back a home battery through bill savings alone. In a field trial by CE Delft for Vereniging Eigen Huis, a 5 kWh battery costing €3,500 came out at an estimated payback period of 10 to 22 years, with a lifetime of 10 to 15 years. About 15% was lost in charging and discharging. Read more on our home battery page.

Your ERE payment doesn’t change

The end of net metering doesn’t affect your ERE. For home charging, the NEa uses a fixed renewable share, 50.5% in 2026, also if you have solar panels. That is 0.33269 ERE per kWh, measured by the integrated MID meter in your charger, whether the power comes from your roof or the grid.

• Separate route for own generation. The law has a strict route in which power generated at the same address can count higher, with special guarantees of origin and no operating subsidy. Buying green power doesn’t count for it. Ask your ERE provider whether it supports this route; more in ERE and solar panels at home.
• Feeding back earns no ERE. Power your car feeds back to your home or the grid doesn’t count under the Energy for Transport Regulation. See bidirectional charging.
• Work it out yourself. The earnings calculator shows what your charger earns in ERE per year.

In brief

• From 1 January 2027 you receive compensation for exported power, until 2030 at least 50% of the bare supply price, minus any feed-in costs.
• At 13 suppliers with known figures you keep 0.249 to 4.130 cents per kWh net (Consumentenbond, 23 September 2026, 1-year fixed contracts; VAT not stated).
• Dynamic suppliers pay the market price at that moment, with their own fees or bonuses.
• Using power yourself saves you the full kWh price; charging your car on sunshine helps.
• Your ERE payment stays the same: 0.33269 ERE per measured kWh (2026).
