How much electricity does a holiday rental consume per week?

A weekly figure does not exist, an annual average does

There is no fixed, nationwide weekly figure for electricity consumption of a holiday rental: the CBS records electricity consumption of homes per year, not per week, and certainly not broken down by holiday rentals. What does exist is an annual average for Dutch homes in general, by housing type and by neighbourhood. That figure is a good starting point to get a sense of the order of magnitude, but it concerns a home occupied year-round by one household with a fixed consumption pattern.

A holiday rental differs on a few points, and that makes consumption per week irregular rather than fixed. There is a vacant week with almost no consumption, a busy summer week with four adults showering, cooking and running the air conditioning daily, and everything in between. The number of guests, the season, the presence of a swimming pool, sauna or charging point, and the heating settings during vacancy also make a difference per week. As a result, the CBS annual average can be divided by 52 to get an indication, but it is not a prediction of what one specific week will consume.

What the CBS figure does and does not measure

The CBS figure from the table on energy consumption of homes gives the average electricity consumption per year, broken down by housing type, district and neighbourhood, based on regular occupancy. It is not designed for short-term rentals, seasonal occupancy or varying guest numbers, and therefore contains no separate category or correction for holiday homes. For an estimate of your own consumption, your own meter, or the live consumption overview that a guest sees during their stay, remains a more direct source than a nationwide annual average.
