Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Rapidly changing market fundamentals make greater understanding of European
energy demand growth patterns increasingly necessary for players throughout
the energy value chain. Energy demand growth rates vary considerably between
markets and are dependent on a number of complex and interrelated factors.
Identifying and quantifying these factors can act as a key input into decision
making.
Scope
- Insight into the various structural factors driving energy demand growth
- Analysis into the prevalence of these factors in each of the 33 selected
power and gas markets and the resultant propensity for demand growth
- Predictions on which markets will be the main drivers of energy demand
growth
Report Highlights
Some markets such as the UK and Germany are likely to see only very modest
growth over the forecast period owing to the maturity of their markets and the
already well developed nature of gas in the energy mix. Conversely other
markets, particularly those in Eastern Europe, are likely to see both rapid
and sustained demand increases
Network expansion in a number of markets, particularly in terms of gas, will
give a significant fillip to demand growth in less mature markets
A combination of above average GDP growth and currently low levels of per
capita consumption will result in a radical acceleration in demand growth in a
number of markets
Reasons to Purchase
- Identify and benchmark the factors driving gas and power demand growth
- Quantify gas and power demand growth prospects in 33 key markets with
analytical insight into growth drivers
- Understand where short and longer term demand hotspots will emerge
