For that reason, alternative cases of the Baseline and the BLUE Map Scenario in ETP2010 for India (IEA, 2010a) have been developed for this paper. Assuming an average economic growth of 8% per year between 2010 and 2030 and of 5.8% thereafter up to 2050, India's electricity generation would be expected to reach 6 600 TWh in 2050 compared to 4 069 TWh in the standard Baseline Scenario. This construction rate assumption follows the one for India used in a global high nuclear variant of the BLUE Map Scenario in ETP2010 (IEA, 2010a).
