ENTSOG TYNDP 2017 - Main Report
The individual fuel shares of thermal power generation have evolved over recent years, mainly due to fuel prices. A shift to coal and lignite can be seen between 2010 and 2013, causing the gas share to reduce from 33% to 27%. Although 2015 closely resembles 2013, gas recovered some of its share moving to 30% reflecting the data submitted by TSOs. In aggregate, other fossil fuels have played only a mi- nor role in power generation in recent years.

2.2.1.4 Split by country ( last 6 years )
The following graph contains information on actual gas consumption over the past six years across Europe. The data has not been adjusted for climatic conditions, as a result the cold year of 2010 and the warm years of 2014 and 2015 need to be tak- en into consideration for identifying the trends.
