(3) The figure for Iceland is contingent upon there being no changes in interconnectivity with other electricity systems. Furthermore, due to the importance of climatic factors on the production of electricity from hydro resources, the demand for electricity and breakdowns in transmission the figure for 2010 should be calculated on a long-range model based on hydrologic and climatic conditions.
(4) The ability of Norway to reach its target of 90 percent is contingent upon electricity consumption not increasing by more than 1 % annually. This corresponds with approximately 6 - 7 TWh new production capacity of electricity from renewable energy sources being introduced from 1997 to 2010.
The considerable variations in Norwegian hydropower production might make it necessary for Norway to take into account the average hydropower production potential in the reports on the fulfilment of the indicative target.’
(5) Constitutional requirements indicated.
