Wijziging van de Wet belastingen op milieugrondslag en de Wet milieubeheer voor de invoering van een minimum CO2-prijs bij elektriciteitsopwekking (Wet minimum CO2-prijs elektriciteitsopwekking)

This Dutch bill, the 'Wet minimum CO2-prijs elektriciteitsopwekking', would amend the Environmental Tax Basis Act and the Environmental Management Act to introduce a minimum price for carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation. The aim is to ensure that carbon emissions from power production carry a floor price, which affects the cost of fossil-fuel power and the incentives for cleaner generation. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text. Electricity producers in the Netherlands, particularly those using fossil fuels such as coal and gas, would be directly affected by the added carbon cost. Households and businesses may see indirect effects through electricity prices, and the measure could influence the Dutch energy transition and climate targets.
