increased with fluctuation throughout the next 8 years and they are expected to reach a peak at 45 and 30 units
respectively in 2030. The data on natural gas also
fluctuated from 15 units
in 1980 to 25 units
in 2015, while
it is expected to remain stable til 2030.
On the other hand
, the consumptions of nuclear, solar/wind and hydropower were around 4 units
at the beginning of the period. they stayed relatively unchanged from 1980 to 2010, and they are expected to keep this
trend til 2030.Submitted by vincentyu on
