The EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) publishes today its Opinion on the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) Winter Supply Outlook 2021/2022.
In its Opinion, ACER acknowledges the main findings of the Winter Outlook, and assesses them in view of specific risk factors for the upcoming winter.
ACER welcomes the timely publication of the Winter Outlook and finds it compliant with the EU Regulations. However, ACER finds room for improvement in the Outlook’s assumptions and methodology to better identify potential supply risks, including exposure to very high gas wholesale prices, and tables specific suggestions for improvement.
