Central Western Europe Winter study 2014/2015

26 May 2014

Following the unplanned outage of 2 nuclear units in Belgium for an undefined time (Doel 3 and Tihange 2; 2 x 1000 MW), and due to the potential impact on security of supply during a high loaded winter period, the CWE TSOs have asked Coreso and SSC to perform a winter analysis.

The aim is an update of the study performed at CWE level 2 years ago with up to date hypothesis and data sets. By doing so, potential difficult situations will be anticipated and adequate remedial actions including coordinated capacities can be proposed.
