The electricity delivery process has experienced a major shift in recent years, driven by a push to reduce emissions. Governments across Europe are actively moving away from conventional sources of electricity generation, leading to a decline in the continent's dependency on fossil fuels. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewables accounted for 41.7% of electricity generation in Europe in 2022, up from 32.9% in 2017. The rise of renewables has spurred an influx of renewable generators and necessitated increased investment in electricity networks. This has lifted revenue for transmission and distribution network operators. Revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 8.7% over the five years through 2025, reaching €2.8 billion. Falling wholesale prices and a reduction in overall electricity consumption spurred a drop in revenue during the pandemic. Excess demand for natural gas as economies loosened pandemic-related restrictions spurred a strong rebound in wholesale electricity prices in 2021, translating to a jump in revenue. Wholesale prices recorded a renewed spike following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, spurring a surge in revenue generated by electricity producers and suppliers. Renewable generators were able to rake in extra profit from electricity sold to wholesale markets at inflated prices, counterbalancing a significant rise in costs for fossil fuel generators and electricity suppliers. Wholesale prices have since come down as Europe has diversified its fuel mix away from Russian gas. Revenue is forecast to decline by 5.1% in the current year. Revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 0.3% over the five years through 2030 to €2.9 billion. The revised Renewable Energy Directive of the EU has set a goal for 69% of electricity to be generated from renewables by 2030. Electricity generators will continue expanding their renewables capacity, while investment in upgrading the electricity network to accommodate the rapid shift to renewables will boost income for transmission and distribution network operators. Rising renewable electricity generation will place downward pressure on wholesale prices, though the electrification of heat and transport is set to spur an uptick in demand for electricity across the continent.

Electricity suppliers are responsible for delivering electricity to consumers, forming the final phase of the electricity supply chain. After it was opened to competition in 2005, the electricity supply market has displayed notable change in recent years, with efforts to promote competition threatening the market share of Ireland’s energy giants. At an industry level, Ireland’s energy efficiency drive has weighed on household electricity consumption, though growing demand from large energy users (LEUs) has maintained strong underlying electricity consumption. Electricity suppliers’ revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 7.8% over the five years through 2025 to reach €7.3 billion. Following a decline during the pandemic, a rebound in global demand for fuels like oil and natural gas caused wholesale electricity prices to surge in 2021, leaving suppliers scrambling to increase tariffs. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine spurred a renewed rise in wholesale electricity prices in 2022, leading to widespread double-digit tariff increases throughout the year. Such price hikes caused a jump in revenue, though this wasn’t enough to offset the impact of wholesale price increases, with the industry operating at a loss over the two years through 2022. Wholesale electricity prices eased in 2023, though tariffs continued to edge up, facilitating a return to profitability. Further reductions in wholesale prices led to widespread tariff drops in 2024, though prices and revenue remained above pre-2022 levels. Ongoing volatility in global energy markets and increased network charges are set to limit the scope for tariff reductions in 2025. Still, revenue is forecast to fall by 6.5% during the year thanks to the impact of 2024 tariff reductions. Revenue is forecast to inch down at a compound annual rate of 1.7% over the five years through 2030 to €6.7 billion. Prices are likely to remain volatile in the medium term, owing to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Fuelled by a continued rise in electricity consumption from data centres, growing demand from LEUs should keep Ireland's energy giants on top of the market.

The Electric Utilities industry comprises all stages required to deliver electricity to end users in France, including generation, transmission, distribution and retail supply. EDF dominates the industry through its ownership of France’s nuclear power fleet in the electricity generation segment and leading share of customer accounts in the electricity retail supply segment. Decarbonisation efforts have shaped France’s electricity value chain in recent years, with developments in energy efficiency weighing on electricity consumption. Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 9.9% over the five years through 2025, reaching €143.3 billion. The pandemic spurred a drop in electricity consumption in 2020, driving a decline in electricity generation and supply volumes and pushing down revenue. France’s dependence on domestic nuclear power initially insulated consumers from the full impact of soaring fossil fuel prices in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, a slump in output from nuclear power and renewables left France exposed to a renewed surge in fossil fuel prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This caused a spike in revenue in the electricity generation segment of the industry, though growth was held back by government intervention at the retail supply level. A resulting slump in the retail supply segment was offset by growing profit from non-gas electricity generation and artificially high returns in the electricity transmission and distribution segments. Renewed growth in nuclear power output and a gradual normalisation in global energy markets have since caused revenue to come down. That being said, revenue is expected to remain above pre-pandemic levels in the current year, as wholesale prices remain elevated and the government is pursuing tax hikes on energy bills to recoup funds used to support consumers through the energy crisis. Still, revenue is set to decline by 4.4% in 2025. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is slated to expand at a compound annual rate of 0.6% to reach €147.4 billion. Revenue is set to continue to moderate in the near term as energy prices continue to come down from the extraordinary highs recorded in recent years. The electricity generation segment will be characterised by accelerated expansion of renewables capacity in the coming years as the French government pursues decarbonisation objectives. The electrification of transport raises the prospect of renewed growth in electricity consumption, boosting revenue in the electricity supply segment.
