Energy Increased demand for pumped irrigation due to more frequent/ severe droughts and prolonged growing season will increase demand for energy and competition for water resources between sectors Increased restrictions/ legislation to protect forests may affect location of energy assets Increased restrictions/ legislation to protect natural environment may affect location of energy assets; and increased temperature with changes in precipitation may increase IAS damage to cooling systems of TPPs and NPPs Increasing water scarcity will create tensions between different users (for example, agriculture, public supply, and ecosystems) and will affect availability of water for power generation Lower levels of Danube River due to more frequent/ severe drought will affect river transport; and cold spells will freeze Danube River and suspend transportation Increased demand for energy for cooling systems due to higher temperatures Increased health and safety risks for maintenance workers Prolonged summer season and higher summer temperatures will increase number of tourists and need for cooling systems in summer (higher energy demand) Transport Poorly maintained irrigation and drainage infrastructure could damage transport infrastructure Forest damage (for example, erosion on slopes) may disrupt road and rail operation Biodiversity protection requirements may increase transport project costs; and increased risk of IAS damage to transport infrastructure Damage to transport infrastructure and disruption of services due to failures in and hydropower; and failures in water supply and sewerage systems may damage transport infrastructure Disruption of power supply may impact transport services; and damaged energy infrastructure can cause damage to transport infrastructure Disruption of public transport operation due to extreme weather events; and higher construction and maintenance costs of urban transport infrastructure Increased health and safety risks for workers Increased use of transport infrastructure may increase the maintenance costs
