    There are a lot of articles, including this one from VRT, talking about the increase in electricity production, but it should be said that this is/would be a global increase, normally affecting China and other countries in development. See the graph:

    In Europe and other Western countries, the electricity consumption has been stable or slowly being reduced. See the graph for electricity consumption in Belgium, with a peak around 2010 and then a small reduction.
