Markets, infrastructure and energy security - Security of supply

Crisis capability index

The Crisis Capability Index (CC Index) combines the risk of a country to be confronted with sudden supply interruptions and its potential impact (the Risk Assessment, RA) and the capability of that country to manage and mitigate these impacts (the Mitigation Assessment, MA). Each country is invited to make its own RA and MA on the basis of checklists with some simple scoring values. If the RA is higher than the MA value, the CC Index gets a value of less then 100. The CC Index methodology has been discussed and partially tested with Dutch and Irish SoS experts.

The method is described in: EU Standards for Energy Security of Supply - Updates on the Crisis Capability Index and the Supply/Demand Index, Quantification for EU-27
