Challenges. The report reminds the double environmental and demographic challenge the electricity industry is faced with: on the one hand, the EU has committed to reduce its CO2 emissions; on the other, active workers are increasingly ageing. In electricity, the workforce, older, will begin to contract from 2020. According to the report, in 8 of the major European electricity companies, between 19 and 38% of the workforce is due to retire within the next decade. It adds that one third of unions and employers surveyed within the framework of this analysis stated that 40% or more of their workforce was over 50 years of age.

Energy mix. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), worldwide electricity demand will double between 2007 and 2050. In the EU, growth is predicted to be 30%.
