Forecast: Lignite Energy Supply in Germany

In 2023, lignite energy supply in Germany stood at approximately 1.0852 million terajoules. The forecast for the period from 2024 to 2028 suggests a consistent decline in lignite energy supply, with the year-on-year decrease in values ranging from around 5.7% in 2025 to 6.7% in 2027. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years shows an average annual decrease of approximately 6%. This downward trend reflects Germany's ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources and its efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

Future trends to watch for:

• Speed and scalability of replacing lignite with renewable energy sources.
• Impact of government policies and subsidies on the pace of energy transition.
• Technological advancements in clean energy and their integration into the energy grid.
