The plan has been published for public discussion. According to the EU decarbonisation targets, the plan envisages a gradual increase in electricity consumption for heating, transport, industry and green hydrogen production. In 2033, gross electricity generation is expected to reach 41 400 GWh.

According to the Electricity System Operator this will complicate the production-consumption balance, as well as the options for catering for domestic consumption and possible electricity exports.
