Germany's nuclear heat production has seen a consistent decline from 2013 to 2023, starting at 25.05 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2013 and falling to 14.08 million tonnes of oil equivalent by 2023, marking a year-on-year variation of -7.26% in 2023. Over the last two years, the decline remained significant with rates of -14.54% and -7.26% respectively in 2022 and 2023. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years was approximately -6.37%, indicating a steady reduction trend.
Future forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest an accelerated decline, with a projected -12.12% average annual decrease and an overall 47.59% reduction by 2028.
Trends to watch for: Continued regulatory pressures and shifts in energy policy could further impact nuclear heat production. Monitoring developments in renewable energy adoption and technological advancements in energy storage will be crucial for understanding future dynamics in Germany's nuclear energy landscape.
