The main conclusion of the Electricity Supply Outlook Report is that there is no reason to expect electricity disturbances this Summer under usual weather conditions.

The seasonal Summer outlook report is prepared at European level, and presents the summary of the national or regional power balances between forecast generation and peak demand on a weekly basis for the season. The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) presented its analysis of the situation as well as the preparatory and coordination measures taken by its members in order to avoid or mitigate the impact of any potential disturbances in electricity supply this Summer, for example, because of severe weather conditions. The report concludes that in normal weather conditions no problem is to be expected.

The report has been drafted by ENTSO-E, the new association of electricity transmission system operators which replaces all six previous associations of transmission system operators (TSOs). The creation of ENTSO-E is a proactive step of the network operators to contribute to reliable and efficient pan-European and regional markets, ahead of the schedule of the European Union Third Legislative Package of the Internal Electricity Market, which established the creation of such a European TSOs Group until 2011. The Summer 2009 electricity adequacy report is the first public document produced by ENTSO-E.
