To achieve the decarbonization goal, electricity consumption in the European Union is forecast to increase in the coming years. According to the Fit for 55 (FF55) scenario, the total electricity demand of the EU will reach almost 3.6 petawatt-hours by 2030 and 4.5 petawatt-hours by 2050. EU's estimated electricity demand inspired by the REPowerEU and Radical Action scenario is larger, surpassing five petawatt-hours by 2050 in the second case.
