I'd think it would drop below 2% soon, as fuel oil power generation is just kind of a goofy concept that nobody really does anymore, and only seems to really serve as a hedge against LNG prices. I'd think the 2022 figure was a bit artificially inflated (and maybe 2023 will be too) due to the winter LNG shortage due to the Ukrainian war, and things like this happening: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-24/storm-elliott-news-oil-is-main-fuel-for-power-plants-in-new-england
