ENTSOG South-North Corridor GRIP 2017 - Main Report

3.2.2 DEMAND BREAKDOWN

In this paragraph, the data regarding the total annual demand for the period 2010 – 2015 are analysed splitting them into different consumption sectors. Accordingly with the data gathered by ENTSOG for TYNDP 2017, the following two categories have been considered: \\ final demand (residential, commercial, industrial and transportation) \\ power generation demand The graphs in Figure 3.7, Figure 3.8 and Figure 3.9 illustrate the total annual de- mand breakdown into the above-mentioned categories, for the South-North Corridor countries, the rest of EU-28 countries and the whole of EU-28, respectively. Based on the graphs to the right, the amount of gas used for power generation in the South-North Corridor has been relatively higher than the one consumed for the same purposes in the other EU-28 countries. Furthermore, in the last years the demand for power generation in the South-North Corridor decreased with a very small rate, if compared to the considerable decline registered by the demand for power generation in the other EU-28 countries.
