South-North Corridor GRIP 2017
Figure 3.15 shows the forecasts for each country of the South-North Corridor, with
Italy expected to have the highest demand, overcoming Germany after 2020. A slight
increase in demand is expected in France, while in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg
and Switzerland the demand should remain fairly stable to slightly decreasing.
While figures for most countries are stable to slightly decreasing, in Italy and France
an increasing trend is expected mainly linked to power generation.
The annual forecast is then further analysed by splitting the demand into the
consumption sectors previously indicated, namely final customers (residential,
commercial, industrial and transportation) and power generation.
The graphs in Figure 3.16 and Figure 3.17 show the results obtained for the
2017–2037 period.
