The forecast for gross electricity production from non-renewable waste in the UK indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 6.34 thousand gigawatt hours in 2024, the production is projected to rise to 7.29 thousand gigawatt hours by 2028. This growth reveals a consistent upward trend, reflecting an increasing reliance on non-renewable waste as an energy source.
Year-on-year percentage increases are as follows:
- 2025: 3.9% increase from 2024
- 2026: 3.6% increase from 2025
- 2027: 3.4% increase from 2026

Over the forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected at approximately 3.55% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch include potential regulatory changes impacting non-renewable waste usage, advancements in waste-to-energy technology, and the influence of public policy shifts favoring renewable energy sources. These factors could alter the trajectory of non-renewable waste-generated electricity in the UK.
