In the Netherlands, there are dozens of energy suppliers to choose from. But what does it mean to have the “best energy supplier”? Is it about the lowest price, the fairest terms, or the sustainability of the energy source? At Jeroen, we provide independent insights and guidance to help you navigate the energy market. In this article, we break down what makes a good energy supplier, focusing on what really matters including dynamic energy, which is becoming increasingly popular among Dutch households.
When looking for the “best energy supplier in the Netherlands”, you should consider a combination of:
The energy market is constantly changing, and prices can fluctuate hourly or daily, especially with dynamic energy contracts, where electricity prices adjust every hour based on supply and demand in the market.
More and more people are opting for greener energy electricity generated from wind, solar, or other renewable sources.
A good supplier provides insight into your consumption and tariffs, helping you use energy efficiently (for example, via apps or data platforms).
The best decisions are made using data and insight, not just marketing claims.
With a dynamic energy contract, you pay the electricity price per hour or even per 15 minutes, depending on market rates. This can save you money if you plan your usage wisely. For example, running your washing machine during cheaper hours or charging your electric vehicle when there is ample solar or wind production.
Many suppliers now offer dynamic tariffs alongside traditional fixed or variable contracts. In fact, major suppliers are expected to offer this option as a standard soon.
Here are some energy providers often considered strong choices depending on what you are looking for:
Pay attention to how a supplier structures prices, not just the final cost, but how it is calculated (day-ahead price, procurement fee, taxes).
If you have solar panels, a home battery, or an electric vehicle, dynamic energy may benefit you more than someone without these features.
Platforms like jeroen.nl provide real-time insight into electricity prices and consumption, allowing you to plan smarter.
Other users’ experiences can help you understand how a supplier actually performs for example, how easy it is to access information or get support.
There is no single “best” supplier for everyone. The right choice depends on your consumption, sustainability preferences, flexibility needs, and how much value you place on insight and data.
