incremental final energy demand. For all fuels, except coal, biomass and other<br />

renewables, the coastal region contributes the greater part of the increase in<br />

energy demand. In the period 2015-2030, the coastal region’s coal demand<br />

actually declines; however, this effect is offset by coal demand growth in the<br />

inland region.<br />

Power Generation<br />

Electricity generation is projected to reach 4 769 TWh in 2030 (Table 13.4).<br />

It grows by 8.1% per year between 2005 and 2015, and then slows to 3.9% per<br />

year from 2015 to 2030. The share of coal in the generation fuel mix remains<br />

high, at 84% in 2030 – more or less the same share as now. Coal-fired<br />

generation continues to grow strongly through 2015 and slows thereafter.<br />

Hydropower remains the most important renewable source, but its share of<br />

generation declines. Other renewables – notably bioenergy, onshore wind and,<br />

to a lesser extent, solar photovoltaics – grow much more rapidly. More than<br />

80% of generation from solar photovoltaics is located in the coastal region<br />

throughout the <strong>Outlook</strong> period.<br />
