Reports on the research project “Scientific support on methodological improvements of Resource Adequacy Assessments prepared by the Pentalateral Energy Forum” Research project in cooperation with the Pentalateral Energy Forum

According to an agreement from 2020, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action – as member of the Pentalateral Energy Forum (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland) – has conducted a research project on methodological improvements of Resource Adequacy Assessments, in cooperation with the Forum. The task was conducted by a consortium by Guidehouse Germany GmbH, r2b energy consulting GmbH and Compass Lexecon and coordinated with the members of the Pentalateral Energy Forum.

A more detailed overview on the project and the contents of the individual reports is given in a framework paper.

The reports are dealing with the following subjects:

• Work Package 1: Sources for and quality of data being used to model Resource Adequacy Assessments
