Norway leads in European hydro power gross electricity production with 518.05 thousand terajoules, followed by Sweden with 234.59 and France with 233.25. Austria, with the highest recent growth at 1.56%, remains a significant player. Spain and France showed declines at -2.4% and -1.67% respectively. Smaller countries like Estonia and the Netherlands exhibit notable growth rates of 11.19% and 4.18%. The Eastern European bloc, especially Poland and the Czech Republic, also showcases rising trends with average annual increases of around 5%.
Future trends to watch in European hydro power production include the continuous expansion in Eastern Europe and potential growth spurts in smaller markets such as Estonia and Lithuania. Countries facing declines might initiate modernization and efficiency measures to stabilize and enhance their hydroelectric output in the coming years.
