English translation: shifting toward countries

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Russian term or phrase:смещение в сторону стран
English translation:shifting toward countries

Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / nuclear power
Russian term or phrase: смещение
Sergei Kirienko on the diverse ways that various countries are approaching nuclear energy for the future:

Будет **смещение** программ развития атомной энергетики, в первую очередь в сторону стран, более динамично развивающихся, имеющих бóльшие ограничения и дефицит потребления электроэнергии, а также стран, которые не могут позволить себе избыточно вкладываться сегодня в поддержку перспективных направлений.

Displacement? Replacement? But the idea seems to be that rapidly developing countries with more limited resources will want to INCREASE their use of nuclear energy, not replace it. And I can't figure out what "displacement" would mean here.

Thanks!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ah ha, thank you! My error was not in the queried noun, but in confusing "в сторону" with "со стороны." :-(
