The lignite gross available energy in Germany is projected to decline steadily from 285.33 thousand Gigawatthours in 2024 to 220.75 thousand Gigawatthours in 2028. This demonstrates a consistent downward trend, reflecting a shift away from lignite-based energy sources. Assuming the data patterns from 2024 onwards, the expected percentage decrease in lignite energy availability is approximately 5.8% year-on-year. This translates to a compounded average growth rate (CAGR) of about -6% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Germany's ongoing energy transition policies impacting lignite energy consumption.
Developments in renewable energy infrastructure potentially leading to further reduction in lignite reliance.
Geopolitical and market factors that could influence lignite production and usage.
