Surely EVs would change the equation. Also increasing installation of heat pumps vs gas heating.

		Perhaps, my point was an electricity supplier that invested a ton of money in the early 2000s assuming that aggregate demand will keep growing forever would have been in for a rough time. A variety of factors may or may not make a future where aggregate electricity demand would increases, or stagnates, or even declined.
