Today, ACER releases the 2023 report on the security of EU electricity supply.
The report looks into four main areas:
- lessons learnt from the energy crisis;
- implementation status of the EU adequacy framework;
- capacity mechanisms;
- other national measures to address security of supply.
The report also provides recommendations on improving Europe’s security of EU electricity supply framework.
What are some of the report's key findings?
- Harmonised adequacy assessments are key to assess security of supply risks. It is imperative to bring the European Resource Adequacy Assessment (ERAA) up to standard.
- Total EU costs of capacity mechanisms doubled since 2020 to €5.2 billion in 2022, further increasing by another 40% in 2023.
- Capacity mechanisms still rely on fossil-fuel (coal and gas) power plants, potentially undermining the shift to a low-carbon economy.
