Energy needs to stay similar, unless GDP grow slows down - report

Provided that Poland’s GDP grows by 3 percent annually on the average until 2030, the economy will need some 65.5 Mtoe (million tons of oil equivalent) in energy, according to a report issued by Deloitte and DNB Bank Polska. This would mean energy needs would stay at a fairly constant level. If the growth is lower, at 1.5 percent on the average, energy needs are expected to reach 70 Mtoe. “Higher economic growth acts in favor of energy-saving processes, which more than compensates the growing usage caused by higher GDP,” the statement said.
