European Ambient Heat Energy Supply by Country

In 2023, France led the European ambient heat energy supply with a significant increase of 12.38%, totaling 49.79 thousand GWh. Italy, despite a slight decline of 0.77%, remained the second largest supplier with 29.06 thousand GWh. Sweden and Germany also showed notable increases of 2.83% and 8.82%, respectively. The United Kingdom and Spain followed with moderate increases of 5.31% and 12.1%. Smaller countries like Hungary and Ukraine exhibited rapid growth rates of 32.83% and 45.27%, albeit from lower base values.

Key trends to observe in future European ambient heat energy supply include:

• Continued expansion in Northern Europe, spearheaded by Scandinavian countries leveraging their abundant natural resources and technological advancements.
• Increased investments in renewable energy projects in Southern and Eastern European countries, as highlighted by substantial recent growth in Hungary and Ukraine, despite their relatively small market sizes.
• A persistent push towards energy efficiency and sustainability across major economies such as Germany and France, sustaining their leadership in the sector.
• Potential policy shifts or economic incentives could reshape the growth dynamics, encouraging more diversification and wider adoption of ambient heat energy solutions.
