The public water supply to the production and distribution of electricity sector in Germany is expected to experience a gradual decline from 27.49 million cubic meters in 2024 to 26.42 million cubic meters by 2028. In 2023, the actual usage stood at a slightly higher level. The year-on-year decline is approximately 1% to 1.1%, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is negative, indicating a steady decrease in water usage by this sector. This trend suggests a potential shift towards more water-efficient technologies and practices within the electricity sector.
Future trends to watch for include the adoption of advanced cooling technologies, increased emphasis on renewable energy sources, and regulatory changes aimed at reducing water consumption. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for predicting water usage dynamics in the sector.
