Monitoring security of electricity supply

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:

• The methodology for calculating the value of lost load, the cost of new entry and the reliability standard

• Methodology for short-term and seasonal adequacy assessment

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’s 2023 report on the performance of Member States in the area of security of electricity supply 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.
