Resource adequacy
Resource adequacy assesses the potential risks to security of supply and whether there are sufficient available resources to meet electricity demand throughout the year.

We dive into the potential risks to security of supply and whether there are sufficient available resources to meet electricity demand throughout the year.
In this study we refresh our first Resource Adequacy study which we published with AFRY in December 2022. It updates the required actions to achieve security of supply in the transition to a clean power system in the 2030s.
We promised a number of spotlight studies in response to feedback from our first resource adequacy study. This spotlight on demand-side response (DSR) is the second of those studies and explores the role of DSR on resource adequacy. We will continue to publish more spotlights ahead of our next resource adequacy study.
In July 2023 we published an update to our Resource Adequacy plans. We promised a number of spotlight studies. This spotlight on metrics is the first of those studies, and we expect further spotlight studies to be published soon.
In December 2022 we published our first Resource Adequacy study and engaged with industry at round table events March 2022 and April 2022. As a result we’ve reflected on the stakeholder feedback and are inviting nominations from industry, government and academia to join our expert advisory group to develop our future studies.
In this first study, published in December 2022, we commissioned AFRY to undertake a long-term adequacy study to assess the risks to security of supply in a fully decarbonised power system and the resources needed in the 2030s to ensure adequacy.
