In 2023, Norway, Sweden, and France led European hydroelectric production. Norway, at 25.38 GWh, maintains a dominant share. Sweden and France follow with 11.49 GWh and 11.43 GWh respectively. Noteworthy growth was observed in Estonia and Slovakia, exhibiting increases of 11.19% and 3.48%. France, Spain, and Greece recorded production declines.
Future trends suggest growth in regions embracing renewable energy, emphasizing investment and modernization of infrastructure. However, climate-related changes could impact water availability, posing risks to hydroelectric stability and potentially shifting the geographic share in this energy sector.
