ACER criticizes transmission system operators’ assessment of electricity resource adequacy

The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) issued a press release on Wednesday 23 February announcing its decision not to approve or amend the first pan-European assessment of the adequacy of the European Union’s electricity resources (ERAA) carried out by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E). 

The objective of this assessment is to monitor the risks to Europe’s security of electricity supply and to identify adequacy issues.
