Abstract
⺠Dutch Local Energy Companies (LECs) producing heat perform best in cost efficiency. ⺠Technical efficiency is highest in Dutch Local Energy Companies employing wind energy. ⺠Theoretical assumptions concerning LEC performance are not yet achieved in practice. ⺠The self supply model adds to the profitability of LECs, independent from subsidies. ⺠Recent changes in Dutch subsidy schemes add little to LECs' financial performance.
