Introduction

Datamonitor's Gas and Power Capacity Forecast contains supply and demand outlooks for 32 states (EU27+ Russia, Norway, Croatia, Switzerland and Algeria) to 2030, on a year by year basis to 2015. The forecasts are based upon a regression analysis of demand against economic and demographic trends, combined with a qualitative assessment of regulatory and political drivers.

Scope of this research

• Country specific forecasts of gas and power fundamentals up to 2030, based upon sophisticated econometric analysis and regulatory review
• The power forecast includes a breakdown of the generation mix, according to legislative drivers, existing capacity phase out & planned new generation
• The gas forecast contains a summary of supply sources, based upon historical trade patterns, projected output and new pipelines
• The gas forecast also contains a projection of the states' gas production to 2030

Research and analysis highlights

Slovenia's gas demand will continue increasing but at a gradual rate on account of the limited role of gas in the energy mix and weak economy

The Krsko nuclear facility is jointly owned between Slovenia and Croatia; Datamonitor expects its expansion to go ahead, adding capacity from 2020

Key reasons to purchase this research

• Use this forecast as a reference tool for estimating future demand, supply, generation mix and capacity constraints in gas and power across Europe
• Identify growth markets and opportunities for investment according to states' long term fundamentals outlook and states' individual energy policies
