The solar thermal energy supply in the Netherlands starts at 27.03 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, with a slight year-on-year decrease observed over the forecast period. The values drop to 26.8 in 2025, 26.58 in 2026, 26.37 in 2027, and 26.18 in 2028. The year-on-year variation reveals small declines of approximately 0.85% from 2024 to 2025, 0.81% from 2025 to 2026, 0.79% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.72% from 2027 to 2028. There is a consistent downward trend, indicating a gradual decrease in solar thermal energy supply. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years shows an average annual decrease of around 0.79%.
Future trends to watch include advancements in solar technology, government policies regarding renewable energy, and the integration of solar thermal systems with other renewable technologies. Innovations and efficiency improvements could potentially counteract the observed decreasing trend in supply.
