In 2023, Italy led the European geothermal power consumption for commercial and public services with 22.08 GWh, followed closely by Germany at 18.71 GWh. Despite being smaller markets, Bulgaria and Hungary showed positive growth rates, at 1.18% and 4.34% respectively, indicating an upward trend in their geothermal usage. Iceland, while still a significant player, saw minimal change. Noteworthy declines were observed in the UK with a -6.19% change, and in Croatia and Serbia with declines of -3.04% and -2.98% respectively.
Looking forward, Europe is likely to see increased geothermal adoption as countries push for sustainable energy solutions. Emerging markets like Greece and Poland are expected to continue their upward trends owing to supportive policy frameworks. Advances in technology and increased investment could further drive growth in broader markets, emphasizing geothermal's role in the renewable energy mix.
