In 2023, France's gross electricity production from non-renewable waste stood at 2.16 thousand gigawatt-hours. Forecasts indicate a gradual decrease in production, starting from 2.12 in 2024 and declining to 1.97 by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent reduction rate of approximately 1.87% from 2023 to 2024, declining further by average annual shifts of 1.87% thereafter. Over the five-year span from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates an expected annual decrease of around 1.8%.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes towards sustainable waste management, advancements in energy efficiency, or technological innovations in waste-to-energy processes that could either decelerate or further steepen the projected decline.
