Stressed situation : Forced outage of two nuclear power plants in Belgium

17 April 2014

End of March, the forced outage of Tihange 2 and Doel 3, for safety reasons, led to a stressed situation on the Belgium-Netherlands border. Coreso played an important role in this situation by providing security analysis and a close to real time coordination.

To ensure grid security of supply, a new set of capacities on the Central Western Europe borders has been calculated and agreed between the neighboring Transmission System Operators.
