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

Swedish gas consumption is expected to peak in 2015, after which efficiency gains and nuclear power will erode demand

Limited scope for further hydro-electric capacity and ambitions to further reduce fossil fuel reliance will stimulate further nuclear development

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
