As Europe continues to tackle spiralling energy costs, security of supply and climate change, 3i, the international private equity company, believes an increase in gas-fired power is the only way to prevent a shortfall in generation capacity within the next decade. The company's views are revealed in its fourth white paper published today.
Large-scale investment is required in new generation capacity to meet growing demand across Europe, expected to rise from around 800Gigawatts (GW) to more than 1,000GW in 2030.
