Introduction The forecast for total electricity demand upon which this Electricity Plan is based issomewhat lower than in the 1993-2002 Electricity Plan. Following the upward adjustments in the forecasted electricity demand which proved to be necessary in the two previous Electricity Plans because the actual increase in demand outstripped original forecasts, it is now evident that the economic stagnation is persisting longer than anticipated and that the prospects for the economy are less favourable than was the case when the last Electricity Plan was compiled. In spite of this, demand for electricity in the Netherlands is still increasing, and this rise is likely to accelerate when the expected economic recovery sets in. Another factor which influences electricity demand is the energy conservation policy. If the present conservation policy aimed at achieving a rational use of electricity is continued, it is currently seen as realistic to assume that the development in demand for electricity will be approximately mid-way between the forecast as set out in the 1993-2002 Electricity Plan and in the Plan before that. Plans for combined heat and power (CHP) generation, or cogeneration, as part of the Heat Plan which was launched in the 1991-2000 Electricity Plan, are progressing extremely well. A large number of workable projects are being designed involving relatively high electrical capacities. These projects not only involve the supply of heat to district heating systems, but also to the horticultural and manufacturing industries. A similar trend can be observed among the electricity distribution companies, which are devoting substantial efforts to the realization of decentralized CHP capacity as part of their Environmental Action Plan activities.
