For France, the power generation peak demand increases only for EU Green Revolution, which is coincident with Green Evolution. The Blue Transition scenario has the same demand that Slow Progression scenario, but these ones stay stable for all period.

In Portugal, the peak demand increases for the Blue Transition and EU Green Revolution scenarios (this one is equal for the Green Evolution), and they coincide after 2025. In the Slow Progression scenario, the demand increases slightly until 2025 but significantly in 2030 due to the decommissioning of the coal power plants.
