Spain leads European solar thermal production, significantly outpacing other countries with a production of 114.28 thousand terajoules in 2023. Germany follows, with a production considerably lower than Spain but still the second highest in Europe. Growth trends in 2023 show notable increases in Poland, driven by an 11.7% year-on-year rise. Small yet consistent growth can be observed in Italy, France, and Portugal, while Germany and Austria experienced slight declines.
Future trends to watch include:
- The potential expansion in Poland due to its strong growth rate.
- Possible increases in renewables investment in less active countries like Romania and Finland.
- Sustained dominance by Spain, given its current leadership position.
