3.1a Generation Equipment – Capacity by Primary Energy
table 3.1a.1 Max Net Generating Capacity by Primary Energy (MW)
The tables below display the generating capacity by primary energy in the 27 EU Member States,
plus installed capacity in Switzerland, Norway and Turkey, between 1980 and 2008. Forecasts for 2010,
2020 and 2030 have also been included. The capacity is expressed in MW.
Data displayed in italics have not been provided by the respective national member, but have been
collected through external sources such as governmental office websites, transmission system
operators’ publications, etc. Alternatively, they may come from the EURELECTRIC Power Choices study,
in which case they are taken from the report’s Baseline scenario (which is the similar to the Baseline
2009 as developed by the University of Athens for the European Commission).
With regards to the EU-27 table displayed immediately below, it must be noted that whereas the
aggregated figures for type of primary energy used are fairly complete, the breakdown into subtypes
(e.g. coal, oil and natural gas for fossil fuels fired, or run-of-river and pumped for hydropower) might
not always take into account all EU-27 countries. Nonetheless, the figures still provide some good hints
on the latest development of generating capacity and on expected future developments.
