The gross electricity production from hydro power in Germany is forecasted to slightly decline from 2024 to 2028, moving from 2.1 to 2.04 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Compared to 2023, where the production was slightly above 2.1 million tonnes, the production is anticipated to experience a subtle downward trend. Year-on-year, the percentage decline is minimal, but consistent, suggesting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that confirms the shrinking trajectory year by year over this forecast period.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in hydroelectric technology, changes in governmental energy policies, and the impacts of climate change on water resources availability, which might influence hydro power's role in Germany's energy mix.
