The Clean Energy Package tasked ACER to monitor the performance of Member States in the area of security of electricity supply and the relevant security of supply measures. In 2022, ACER published its first dedicated report on the matter. This year’s report discusses the experience of winter 2022/2023, it analyses selected design features of capacity mechanisms and reflects on the interactions between the adequacy and the risk preparedness frameworks.
