In 2023, Germany's hydro power gross inland consumption stood at 18.88 thousand gigawatt-hours. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in consumption, with annual values reducing steadily from 18.75 to 18.18 thousand gigawatt-hours. The year-on-year percentage decrease from 2024 onwards is consistent, highlighting an effort to transition towards other renewable energy sources. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflects a continual but slight decrease in hydro power consumption.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in hydro power technology, potential environmental policies impacting energy sources, and the integration of hydro power with other renewables in Germany’s energy mix. Monitoring these elements can provide insights into future consumption patterns and strategic energy planning.
