ENTSO-E’s Summer and Winter Outlooks alert Member States and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) about potential risks related to security of electricity supply that could occur six months ahead.
ACER acknowledges ENTSO-E’s efforts to take account of the changing wartime situation as reflected in the recent Summer Outlook. ACER also provides some considerations for ENTSO-E’s upcoming Winter Outlook report.
Highlights of ENTSO-E’s Summer Outlook (2022):
ENTSO-E’s Summer Outlook Report 2022 (June 2022) found no major summer-time risk to electricity supply in Europe. However, it pointed to the need for close monitoring of electricity and gas sectors and enhanced coordination for the winter period.
ACER decided not to issue an opinion on ENTSO-E’s Summer Outlook, finding it broadly consistent with its mandate.
ACER’s key considerations for the upcoming Winter Outlook Report 2022-2023:
- Coordination between ENTSOs is key: ACER recommends that ENTSO-E (electricity) and ENTSOG (gas) coordinate the assumptions and outputs for their respective seasonal outlooks for consistent results.
- National mitigation measures will have an impact at European level: TSOs should closely coordinate with competent national authorities to ensure the latest data is available to ENTSO-E.
- Considering additional sensitivities can help EU decision makers: ACER proposes further scenarios for consideration related to demand side adjustment, supply side events and factors affecting the network.
- ENTSO-E’s dynamic and responsive approach is welcome: ACER appreciates ENTSO-E is engaging with and sharing early results with Member States and national regulatory authorities.
