In 2023, hydro power production in Germany was estimated at around 68.05 thousand terajoules. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a gradual decline, with an average annual decrease of approximately 0.75%. The projected figures show a consistent downward trend in production: 67.51 in 2024, 66.99 in 2025, 66.47 in 2026, 65.96 in 2027, and 65.46 thousand terajoules in 2028. This trend indicates a moderate overall decline over the five-year forecast period, driven by potential factors like climate variability or shifts in energy policy priorities.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate policies and regulations aimed at enhancing renewable energy sources.
Technological advancements that could increase hydroelectric power efficiency.
Potential geopolitical factors affecting energy import-export dynamics and energy diversification strategies.
