In May 2016, it was formally announced that 747, 828, 1035, 1251, and 1395 khz (previously used by full-power stations) would have a maximum transmission power of 100 watts, while 1485 khz would have a maximum transmission power of 1 watt.
A current list of AM broadcasters is available at Radio-tv-nederland.nl.
