The forecast for 2024 projects a slight decline to 467.19 thousand gigawatt-hours, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 4.1% from 2023. This downward trend continues with production reducing each subsequent year, marking a 4.4% decrease in 2025, a 4.6% decrease in 2026, a 4.8% decrease in 2027, and a 5% decrease in 2028, indicating consistent reductions over the period.

Future trends to watch for include:
- Adapting to renewed energy policies, particularly those focusing on sustainable and renewable energy sources.
- Innovation in energy efficiency and technology which may alter demand and supply dynamics.
- Impact of geopolitical factors and EU regulations on energy production patterns.
- Potential shifts in market demand influenced by global climate change initiatives.
