The Clean Energy for All Europeans Package enhanced ACER’s role in monitoring security of electricity supply. The ACER Regulation mandates ACER to monitor the performance of Member States in the area of security of electricity supply while the Risk Preparedness Regulation tasks ACER to monitor on an ongoing basis the security of electricity supply measures.

ACER is also monitoring the implementation of the adequacy related methodologies:

In response to these monitoring needs, ACER issues dedicated reports and additional ad-hoc publications as per current needs.

 

Reports on monitoring the security of electricity supply

ACER publishes its first stand-alone report on the performance of Member States in the area of security of electricity supply. The report looks into three main areas:

  • The implementation of the methodologies to calculate the value of lost load, the cost of new entry and the reliability standard by Member States;
  • The short- and long-term adequacy assessments at European and national level; and
  • The measures implemented by Member States to address security of electricity supply concerns.
