The lignite gross electricity production in Germany is projected to decrease moderately from 9.52 in 2024 to 9.3 in 2028, measured in Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent. In 2023, the production stood slightly higher, as per historical data trends. From 2024 onwards, the year-on-year decline is steady, reflecting a transitioning energy strategy. Over the past two years, the annual decline has been consistent. The compound annual growth rate over the next five years indicates a small but steady decrease.

Future trends to watch for:

Ongoing shifts towards renewable energy sources may accelerate lignite phase-out.
Policy changes targeting carbon emissions could further impact lignite production.
Technological advancements in energy efficiency may reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
