PS analysis is NOT a market simulation
Week 50 severe conditions • G & F require peak imports simultaneously • All interconnectors at full NTC • Countries acts as transit to G & F • Reactive voltage support in southern G will be key in ensuring flows • Coordination across all TSO’s neighbouring to F & G will be vital
6
And for Belgium… • Belgium is less dependant of structural imports with regard to past winters: – more generation capacity – During certain weeks and severe winter conditions: • 47 to 50 in 2011 and • weeks 3,4 and 11 of 2012
structural import of 650 – 700 MW 7
Specific actions
• Planning process: max availability of XB lines • Process of coordination of PST’s in CWE region • ENTSO-E test of emergency communication and procedures • Simulator testing with neighbouring TSO’s • Procedure in case of shortage” (“schaarste” or “pénurie”)
