Assumptions entailed in the construction of the different scenarios
| Scenario | Variable | Main assumption |
|---|---|---|
| Historical trend and current state | Years | 1990–2018 |
| Energy production | IEA | |
| Energy use | IEA | |
| Efficiency of electricity generation | 23.29% in 1990; 29.29% in 2018 | |
| Efficiency of oil refineries | 100% | |
| Electricity transmission and distribution losses | 5.6% in 1990; 1.9% in 2018 | |
| Electricity generation capacity (MW) | 3,920.9 in 2018 | |
| Baseline scenario | Scenario period: first year | 2019 |
| End year | 2040 | |
| Growth rate of local demand for electricity (accumulated) | ≈ 0.9% per annum (39.7%) | |
| Growth rate of local demand for natural gas (accumulated) | ≈1% per annum (20.4%) | |
| Growth rate of local demand for petroleum products (accumulated) | ≈1% per annum (21.6%) | |
| All other variables remain almost constant | ||
| Mitigation scenario | NEEAP | The initiatives and savings are assumed to continue after 2025 (the end year of NEEAP) |
| NREAP | The initiatives and savings are assumed to continue after 2035 (the end year of NREAP) | |
