The gross electricity production from renewable municipal waste in the Netherlands experienced a series of fluctuations from 2013 to 2023, starting at 2.08 thousand GWh in 2013 and reaching 2.32 thousand GWh in 2023. This value represents the current standing in 2023. Key year-on-year variations include notable declines in 2014 (-8.05%) and 2017 (-5.07%) and significant increases in 2018 (14.11%) and 2020 (5.36%). The overall trend, however, has been a gradual increase, as evidenced by the past 5-year CAGR of around 1.3%.
Looking ahead, the forecast indicates a continued upward trajectory with a 5-year forecasted CAGR of 1.7% and a projected growth rate of 8.81% by 2028. Future trends to monitor include technological advancements in waste-to-energy processes, policy changes targeting renewable energy incentives, and shifts in municipal waste management practices that could further impact electricity production from this renewable source.
