ENTSO-E Electricity in Europe 2015 | 5 4 | ENTSO-E Electricity in Europe 2015
ENTSO-E ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION INCREASED IN 2015
After several years of decrease, overall electricity consumption in the ENTSO-E perimeter reached 3,278 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2015. This 1.4 % increase can be explained by the colder tempera-tures observed in the beginning of the year compared to 2014, and by a slight economic upturn.
In 2015, the peak load of the overall electrical system was reached on 5 February (528 gigawatts (GW)), linked to a cold period, and was higher than the previous year (+6 GW). However, this is still below the historical maximum of 557 GW reached in February 2012, when an exceptional period of cold weather struck the main part of Europe.
RENEWABLE GENERATION CONTINUES TO INCREASE
WHILST HYDRO AND NUCLEAR GENERATION DECREASE
The net generating capacity (NGC) of hydro has been stable for several years. However, in 2015, due to a decrease in rainfall, hydro generation was 6.5 % lower than the previous year. Moreover, the shutdown of nuclear plants (-1.8 GW) in Germany and Great Brit-ain have contributed to a reduction of nuclear generation by 2.66 % (-23 TWh). The growth in renewable power has mainly been driven by wind generation, which increased by 24.5 % in 2015. The com-bined effects of the development of wind farms (136 GW) and suit-
able meteorological conditions, were substantially responsible for these figures. In total, the capacity of Renewable Electricity Sourc-es (RES) (excluding hydro) amounts to almost 25.8 % of the total NGC of ENTSO-E.
However, to compensate for the reduction in hydro and nuclear and their load growth, the use of fossil fuel resources increased in 2015 by 1.2 %, despite the reduction of capacity (-3.3 %).
INTERCONNECTED NETWORK ALLOWS EXCHANGE BALANCE
OF COUNTRIES TO FLUCTUATE FROM YEAR TO YEAR
Even if the structure of exchanges is rather stable, the exchange balance of ENTSO-E countries can fluctuate due to border capaci-ties, market prices, market coupling and development of renewa-bles. In 2015, 12 countries within the ENTSO-E perimeter exported more than 10 % of their annual national generation to neighbour-ing countries. Fourteen other countries of ENTSO-E imported more than 10 % of their annual internal consumption needs from other ENTSO-E countries.
Exporting countries were mainly situated along a North-East to South-West axis, which is characterised by an energy mix based on hydro, coal and renewables. The ENTSO-E area had an export bal-ance (6 TWh) in 2015.

EVOLUTION OF OVERALL ENTSO-E CONSUMPTION
YEARLY ENERGY CONSUMPTION
In 2015, ENTSO-E consumption reached 3,278 TWh, which repre-sents a 1.4 % increase compared to the previous year. The follow-ing reasons may explain this increase:
• Meteorology: average 2015 temperatures were lower at the beginning of the year, and higher in summer;
• Economy: the GDP rose by 1.8 % in the EU28 over 2015 compared to 2014 (Source: Eurostat).
We observe an increasing use of electricity (e. g., electric vehicles), despite improvements in energy efficiency of buildings, lighting and appliances.

EVOLUTION OF CONSUMPTION
PER COUNTRY
The majority of ENTSO-E countries observed an increase of their consumption between 2014 and 2015. For some countries, particu-larly France, where electric heating is important, this increase can mainly be explained by colder winter weather conditions.

EVOLUTION OF OVERALL ENTSO-E NET GENERATING CAPACITY
By the end of 2015, total ENTSO-E NGC was 1,030 GW. Whilst NGC was stable with respect to nuclear and hydro, non-hydro renewable energy sources increased by 20 GW (+ 8.6 % compared
to 2014), and represented 25.1 % of total NGC of ENTSO-E. In contrast, fossil fuel NGC decreased by 3.3 %.

EVOLUTION OF OVERALL ENTSO-E ENERGY NET GENERATION
The low rainfall of 2015 affected hydro generation, which de-creased by 6.5 %. This decrease, coupled with the reduction of nuclear generation, was partially compensated by the increase
in renewable generation (+17.3 %), mainly driven by solar and wind, which increased by 24.6 % and 3.1 %, respectively. At the same time, fossil fuel generation increased by 1.1 %.

NET GENERATION PER COUNTRY
HYDRO ENERGY
In Europe, hydro power plants are concentrated in the transal-pine range, the Carpathians and the Scandinavian countries, where hydro generation represents up to 96 % of total national
generation. Although hydro capacities have not significantly evolved further, generation is highly dependent on rainfall, which differs from one country to the next.

NUCLEAR ENERGY
The total nuclear NGC has been rather stable in ENTSO-E, despite the fact that power plant generation can fluctuate, depending on availability. For example, the unavailability of some reactors in Belgium led to a significant drop of nuclear generation, compared to 2014.
The decreases in nuclear NGC have mainly been linked to shutdowns, such as:
• 1.3 GW in Germany (Grafenrheinfeld) • 0.5 GW in Great Britain (Wylfa)

FOSSIL FUEL
Historically, fossil fuels have been the main electricity generation source for countries with no hydro resources or nuclear plants. In recent years, the share of electricity generation from fossil fuels has decreased in all European countries, associated with the de-velopment of RES generation, and the shutdown of some thermal
plants which do not meet European environmental standards. However, in 2015, fossil fuel generation increased, mainly due to a decrease in hydro and nuclear generation.

The evolution of electricity generated from wind (+24.5 %) is influenced by:
• the evolution of capacities, which are generally increasing throughout the ENTSO-E. Indeed, in 2015, wind NGC reached 136 GW (+10 %);• the weather conditions of a specific year and specific country.
In 2015, the wind generation of Germany, Spain and Great Britain accounted for 57 % of total wind generation of the ENTSO-E (310 TWh).

EXCHANGE BALANCES IN 2015 EVOLUTION OF EXCHANGE BALANCES BETWEEN 2014 AND 2015
EXCHANGE BALANCES PER COUNTRY
The exchange balance of a country can fluctuate from year to year, linked to border capacities, market coupling and price influences, even if some countries are structurally importing or exporting. The balance of electricity exchanges is the balance between the energy physically flowing in and out of a country. It equates to the balance
of commercial transactions of each country (exports minus im-ports). However, in an interconnected system where electricity dis-perses through various paths, the energy’s physical flow through a specific border between two countries usually differs from the commercial energy transactions between these two countries.

SHARE OF YEARLY GENERATION EXPORTED
18 | ENTSO-E Electricity in Europe 2015
These two Figures are based on “net exports” and “net imports” calculations, ex-
cluding transit and loop flows. Net balance of exchanges per country are calculated
on an hourly basis.
Adding net balances separately, whether positive or negative, gives the amount of
net exports and imports of the country. Exports and imports can be driven by mar-
ket conditions or adequacy needs.
EXPORTED GENERATION
The share of electricity generation of a country which is physically exported to its neighbours, is the ratio between the country’s net exports and generation. In 2015, 12 countries of ENTSO-E’s perim-eter exported more than 10 % of their annual national generation to neighbouring countries. This includes exchanges of each coun-try with its neighbours, both within and outside of ENTSO-E.
CONSUMPTION FROM
NATIONAL GENERATION
For each country, the ratio between its imports and its consump-tion represents the share of its yearly consumption, which is covered by physical imports from its neighbours. In 2015, 14 ENTSO-E countries imported more than 10 % of their annual internal consumption needs from other ENTSO-E countries.

APPENDIX: DATA SOURCES AND REFERENCES
SOURCE OF DATA:
Data for 2015 is taken from ENTSO-E’s monthly statistics, whereas data from 2014 is based on ENTSO-E’s yearly statistics. Data used for consumption, generation and exchange balance figures in Chapters 2, 3 and 4, page 17 is taken from ENTSO-E’s data portal: www.entsoe.eu/data/data-portal/
Data used for “net export” and “net import” calculations in Chapter 4, page 18 is taken from the ENTSO-E transparency platform (data pre-5.1.15): https://transparency.entsoe.eu/
Pages 10 to 14: A percentage point (pp) is the arithmetic difference between two percentages ( for example going from 4 % to 7 % is a 3 percentage point increase). In this document, all percentage points represent the evolution of coverage rate.
