Germany's municipal waste electricity production capacity in 2023 stood at 2.20 Thousand Megawatts. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a gradual increase in capacity, from 2.22 Thousand Megawatts in 2024 to 2.31 Thousand Megawatts in 2028. The yearly growth rate is modest: around 0.9% increase from 2024 to 2025, 1.3% from 2025 to 2026, and 0.88% from 2026 to 2027. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is approximately 1.0%.

Future trends to watch:

Increasing focus on sustainable waste management and energy production techniques.
Potential policy changes driven by environmental targets and EU regulations.
Advancements in waste-to-energy technology could further enhance capacity and efficiency.
