In 2023, the non-renewable municipal waste energy supply in the UK stood at approximately 1.45 Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent. The forecast from 2024 through 2028 suggests a steady annual growth in supply, increasing from 1.52 in 2024 to 1.77 by 2028. This growth reflects a year-on-year average increase of about 3.2%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is projected to be around 3.3%, indicating a consistent upward trend in the utilization of non-renewable municipal waste for energy production.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in waste-to-energy conversion, which could enhance efficiency.
Regulatory changes and environmental policies that may impact the growth rate.
Potential shifts in waste management practices, favoring increased recycling and reduction.
Evolving public perceptions around non-renewable waste energy and sustainability.
