A figure for each week does not exist, annual average yes

A fixed and national figure for each week for the electricity consumption of a holiday home does not exist: CBS keeps records of household electricity consumption on an annual basis, not per week, and certainly not divided according to rental for a short stay. What does exist is an annual average for Dutch homes in general, according to the type of home and according to location. That figure is a good starting point to get an idea of the order of magnitude, but it refers to a home that is inhabited throughout the year by one family with a fixed consumption pattern.

A holiday home varies from this in many ways, and this makes the consumption of each week irregular rather than fixed. There is an empty week with almost no consumption, a summer week at the end with four adults taking showers, driving and running air conditioning every day, and everything in between these two extremes. The number of guests, the season, the presence of a swimming pool, sauna or charging point, as well as the heating setting while the home is empty, all make a difference from week to week. Therefore, the annual average from CBS can be divided as an approximate indication, but it does not constitute a forecast of what a specific week will consume.

What the CBS figure measures and what it does not measure

The CBS figure from the table on energy consumption of homes gives the average electricity consumption per year, divided according to the type of home, district and location, based on regular habitation. This is not designed for short-term rental, seasonal occupancy or variable number of guests, and therefore contains no separate category or correction for holiday homes. For an estimate of your own consumption, your own meter, or a general view of consumption that guests see during their stay, remains a more direct source than a national annual average.
