From 2023 through 2028, Germany's self water supply to the production and distribution of electricity sector exhibits a consistent downward trend. In 2023, the self water supply stood at 5.9 billion cubic meters. Forecasted values for the following years show a considerable decline, with an average annual decrease of approximately 12% over the next five years, reflecting a 5-year CAGR in line with the same negative rate.
Looking ahead, several trends warrant attention:
- Technological advancements aiming at increasing water-use efficiency.
- Government policies promoting renewable energies with lesser water dependency.
- Evolving consumer and industrial demand dynamics potentially altering sector water use.
- Environmental concerns and sustainability measures likely furthering efficiency improvements.
