The following table presents the recent trends of water consumption for electricity production per country (grouped in regions) for the period 2010-2017 (Table 4.3). It shows that water consumption is decreasing in the majority of countries. This is related with upgrades of existing power plants, where aged equipment is replaced with new and more efficient installations, as well as with the decarbonisation of the energy system, as renewable sources of energy are increasing their shares in the energy mix (EC, 2015c).
