2 Global Wind Energy Outlook 2006 Source: GWEC The Scenarios – Main Assumptions “Reference” scenario: most conservative scenario, based on International Energy Agency (IEA) 2004 World Energy Outlook IEA assessment has then been extended up to 2050 using input from DLR “Moderate” scenario: takes into account all policy measures to support renewable energy either under way or planned around the world assumes that renewables or wind targets set by many countries are successfully implemented “Advanced” scenario: assumption is that all policy options in favour of renewable energy are selected and the political will is there to carry them out

5 Two Baselines The Scenarios – Energy Efficiency Two projections for energy efficiency: ‘Reference Scenario’: based on IEA 2004 World Energy Outlook no changes in national policies world electricity demand to double by 2030 and increase by a further 50% by 2050 ‘High Energy Efficiency Scenario’: based on input from DLR and Ecofys shows the effect of energy efficiency measures on global electricity demand Result: demand increasing by 30% by 2030; by 2050: 39% lower than Reference Scenario
