Figure 3.18: Evolution of the share of total demand used for power generation between 2017 and 2037 according to the Blue Transition scenario (Source: projection based on data from TSOs collected by ENTSOG)

As is illustrated by the previous graph, the share of power generation is expected to increase in all EU-28 countries. This observation is even more pronounced in the South-North Corridor countries, as the estimates foresee an overall increase in the annual demand component for power generation of more than 10% over the next twenty years.
