Winter Outlook
The Winter Outlook Report presents our view of security of supply for the electricity systems for the winter ahead.
We publish our suite of Outlook publications across the year to provide information and transparency to the industry. Alongside this, we are increasingly looking to supplement these publications with more continuous engagement via forums such as the Operational Transparency Forum.
If you have any comments or suggestions for improvements, then please email: [email protected].

This annual document provides a review of how what we said in the 2022/23 Winter Outlook Report compared to what actually happened.
The ESO only assesses requirements on the electricity network. Information on the gas network can be found on the National Gas Website.
Here you can find all policy documentation relating to Winter Operations, particularly considering Winter 2022.
