It includes all investments from fuel production to power generation, electricity T&D and electric end-use equipment. The cumulative requirement for new capacity is larger than the installed capacity of 641 GW in 2050, since some technologies may require, depending on their technical lifetimes, a reinvestment between 2010 and 2050. The BLUE Map scenario results in new capacity additions on the generation side of 826 GW. The capital requirements for power generation, T&D and efficient electric end-use equipment are USD 3.6 trillion, almost 80% higher than in the Baseline scenario. On the generation side, the additional investment is needed to fund higher capacities for nuclear, CCS and solar power. Further capital is needed for the expansion of the grid to connect solar plants in remote areas with demand centres, and for more efficient electric equipment in the end-use sectors.
