Press Release: No disturbances expected for electricity supply this Summer under usual weather conditions

There is no reason to expect electricity disturbances this Summer under usual weather conditions. This was the main conclusion of the Electricity Supply Outlook Report presented on 29 June, 2009, by the newly founded European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E). Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs welcomed this coordinated approach of European electricity transmission network operators aiming to ensure uninterrupted services to citizens and industry in general and also for this Summer. 'Rising demand for electricity and energy in general requires good coordination between European electricity companies and networks. Only in this way we can ensure uninterrupted service to citizens and industry and to make rational use of resources available,' said Commissioner Piebalgs.
