ERE stands for emissiereductie-eenheid (emission reduction unit). These are certificates that demonstrate how much CO₂ has been saved by using sustainable energy for transport. The system was set up by the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) and launched on 1 January 2026. The underlying legislation (RED III) was adopted by the Dutch Senate on 31 March 2026. The certificates are paid for by oil companies that sell fossil fuels.

Anyone with their own charging point and an electric car can participate. Your charging unit must have a certified MID meter built in (a separate meter in the fuse box does not count). Not sure if your charging point qualifies? Check our detailed guide, ask your supplier, or contact us.

Yes, registration is completely free. There are no upfront costs. For individuals the commission is 19% (incl. VAT) on earnings. For businesses it is 16% (excl. VAT) plus an annual mandatory audit of € 150 (excl. VAT). You only pay when you actually earn.

The ERE scheme launched on 1 January 2026 and you can already register. The underlying legislation (implementation of the European RED III directive) was adopted by both the Dutch House of Representatives (October 2025) and the Senate (31 March 2026). The law is now awaiting Royal Assent and publication in the Official Gazette. Registering before May is important because the compensation applies retroactively.

As an individual you can expect approximately € 0.12 per kWh charged gross. At an average consumption of 6,000 kWh per year (approximately 30,000 km of driving) that is about € 583,20 per year. The exact earnings depend on the fluctuating market price of ERE certificates. Use our calculator for an estimate based on your situation.
