Between 2013 and 2023, hydro power production in Poland exhibited significant variability. Starting at 2.44 Thousand Gigawatthours (TWh) in 2013, it reached 2.13 TWh by 2023. Throughout the decade, year-on-year fluctuations were notable, with substantial increases and decreases peaking in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The CAGR over the last five years until 2023 was positive at 1.53%, indicating an overall upward trend despite short-term declines.
From 2024 onwards, the forecast predicts a gradual decline in hydro power production, decreasing to 2.08 TWh by 2028. The forecasted CAGR over the next five years is slightly negative at -0.35%, suggesting a marginal contraction.
Future trends to watch for include potential advancements in hydroelectric technology, regulatory changes, and the impact of climate change on water availability, which could either mitigate or exacerbate the predicted decline in production.
