Amendment 96 #
1. By [OPOCE to insert exact date: two months after entry into force of this Regulation], ENTSO-E shall submit to the Agency a proposal for a methodology for identifying the most relevant electricity crisis scenarios in a regional context. 2. The crisis scenarios shall be identified on the basis of at least the following risks: (a) rare and extreme natural hazards; (b) accidental hazards going beyond the N-1 security criterion; (c) consequential hazards including fuel shortages; (d) malicious attacks. 3. The proposArticle 5 deleted mMethodology shall include at least the following elements: (a) consideration of all relevant national and regional circumstances; (b) interaction and correlation of risks across borders; (c) simulations of simultaneous crisis scenarios; (d) ranking of risks according to their impact and probability. When considering the risks of gas disruption in the context of identifying the risks pursuant paragraph 2(c), ENTSO-E shall use the gas supply and infrastructure disruption scenarios developed by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas pursuant to Art. 6.6 of the Gas Security of Supply Regulation [proposed Gas Security of Supply Regulation]. 4. Before submitting the proposed methodology, ENTSO-E shall conduct a consultation exercise involving at least the industry and consumer organisations, distribution system operators, national regulatory authorities and other national authorities. ENTSO-E shall duly take into account the results of the consultation. 5. Within two months of receiving the proposed methodology, the Agency shall either approve the proposal or amend it. In the latter case, it shall consult ENTSO- E before adopting the amended version and publish it on its website. 6. ENTSO-E shall update and improve the methodology regularly in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 5. The Agency or the Commission may request such updates and improvements with due justification. Within six months from the request, ENTSO-E shall submit to the Agency a draft of the proposed changes.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 6 a (new)
Article 6 a Methodology for short-term adequacy assessments 1. By six months after entry into force of this Regulation ENTSO-E shall submit to the Agency a proposal for a methodology for assessing short-term adequacy, namely seasonal adequacy as well as week-ahead to intraday adequacy, which shall cover at least the following: (a) the uncertainty of inputs such as the probability of a transmission capacity outage, the probability of an unplanned outage of power plants, severe weather conditions, variability of demand and variability of energy production from renewable energy sources; (b) the probability of the occurrence of a critical situation; (c) the probability of the occurrence of a simultaneous crisis situation. The methodology shall provide for a probabilistic approach and consider the national, regional and Union wide context, including to the extent possible non-EU countries within synchronous areas of the Union. The methodology shall consider specify of Member States’ electricity generation park, at least its availability in different weather conditions and resistance to external circumstances, e.g. political influence and access to certain level of cross border/cross zonal capacities. 2. Before submitting the proposed methodology, ENTSO-E shall conduct a consultation involving at least the generators, distribution system operators, national regulatory authorities, and the Agency. ENTSO-E shall duly take into account the results of the consultation. 3. Within two months of receiving the proposed methodology, the Agency shall either approve the proposal or amend it. In the latter case, it shall consult ENTSO- E before adopting the amended version and publish it on its website. 4. ENTSO-E shall update and improve the methodology regularly in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 3. The Agency and the Commission, a TSO, a competent authority, a regulatory authority in case it was not designated as a competent authority, generator, distribution system operator, may request such updates and improvements with due justification. Within six months from the request, ENTSO-E shall submit to a draft of the proposed changes.
