The dotted line mechanically extends the slope of the last five years. It is not a forecast: it embeds no policy, no announced investment and no saturation effect. It answers “where does the current pace lead”, not “what will happen”. Not to be confused with the official trajectory, drawn as a grey dashed line with diamonds.

These dates place official texts on the time axis. They demonstrate no link with the curve: a coincidence of timing is not an explanation.
