Summer Outlook

Breadcrumb

  • Research & publications

Summer Outlook reports are designed to inform the energy industry and support its preparations, we also outline Great Britain’s projected electricity needs for the summer ahead.

As the Electricity System Operator, we sit at the heart of Britain’s electricity industry, working in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders to manage the national electricity system and ensure safe, secure and reliable electricity.

The Summer Outlook report helps energy companies with their planning, so they can best provide electricity for the coming months, and we also set out how we will tackle any operational challenges we expect to face.

We want to make sure that our publications continue to improve and that they contain the right information to support your business planning. To do this we'd like to know what you think of this report. 

You can share your feedback by emailing us at [email protected].
