Country level development on Gas for Power Generation

Similar to final demand, gas demand for power generation shows notable differenc- es between the evolutions of demand at country level. Figure 2.31 shows the per- centage increase or decline seen on a country level for each of the scenarios. Some countries show a mix of increases and decreases between scenarios, whereas oth- ers always evolve in the same direction which can be driven by a number of reasons in the power sector aside from those mentioned regarding RES and coal, for exam- ple political decisions on the future of nuclear generation. For more information on the assumptions behind the country level evolution of demand, please refer the Country Specifics document (Annex C1).
