The compound annual growth rate suggests an ongoing decline over the last five years.
Future trends to watch:
- Continued policy shifts towards renewable energy in Europe.
- Technological advancements enhancing energy efficiency and reducing dependency on solid fossil fuels.
- Potential geopolitical influences affecting energy transitions.
- The role of emerging markets in shaping the European energy landscape.
