This section investigates the impact of the disruption of the single largest infrastructure of a country during a Peak day. The SLID measures the curtailed demand following the disruption of the single largest interconnection infrastructure in given country (excluding storage and national production).
For each country, the Single Largest Infrastructure depends on the year and the infrastructure level.
The table of Single Largest Infrastructure Disruption and the risk group for each country considered can be found in Annex D.
The results presented below correspond to the possible curtailment demand for a country in case of disruption of its Single Largest Infrastructure and the impact on other countries. The demand curtailment in Peak Day without any disruption are not represented in this chapter (see Climatic Stress chapter).
4.5.1 Existing Infrastructure Level
The existing infrastructure level allows to bring an instructive light on the necessary infrastructure projects in order to mitigate the exposure of the countries to demand curtailment under disruption of the Single Largest Infrastructure.
In general, the existing infrastructure is resilient to most of the disruption of single largest infrastructures. However, some countries at the border of the EU show a potential exposure to significant levels of demand curtailment This exposure is linked to the geographical location limiting the possibility of diversification in terms of interconnection, like in Ireland, Denmark and Sweden, Finland and Greece. Furthermore, in some scenarios in some years, some other countries could be exposed to demand curtailment.
2020
North Eastern Europe
- Denmark is exposed to 40 % demand curtailment as SLID correspond to the interconnection with Germany and limited national production in 2020.
- Sweden is also impacted by SLID in Denmark and is exposed to demand curtailment.
- In case of Swedish SLI (interconnection with Denmark), Sweden is exposed to 90 % of demand curtailment without any other interconnection (low diversification).
- Finland is exposed to demand curtailment (88 %) due to infrastructure limitation with Estonia.
- Estonia is exposed to demand curtailment (18 %) due to infrastructure limitation with neighbouring countries.
- Poland is exposed to a low demand curtailment (4 %) due to infrastructure limitation with neighbouring countries.
Eastern Europe

Western Europe
- Ireland is exposed to demand curtailment (71 %) due to not enough interconnections in case of Moffat disruption (connection with UK). In the same time, Northern Ireland which depends totally of Moffat interconnection is also exposed to 100 % demand curtailment.
- Portugal is exposed to a relatively low demand curtailment (12 %) due to infrastructure limitation with the Spain-Portugal interconnection (Single Largest Infrastructure disrupted in Portugal is Sines Terminal).

Eastern Europe
- Croatia is exposed to a significant risk of demand curtailment (37 %) due to an infrastructure limitation with Slovenia.
- Slovenia is exposed to a significant risk of demand curtailment (53 %) due to an infrastructure limitation with Croatia and Italy and high demand for power.

2030
North Eastern Europe
- Denmark is exposed to a risk of demand curtailment (27 %) in Distributed Energy scenario and to higher risk (36 %) in Global Ambition Scenario due high demand scenario for power generation compared to National Trends scenario (risk is fully mitigated) where demand is lower because of low power generation demand and high conventional gas production. Sweden is still exposed to demand curtailment in Distributed Energy scenario only (highest demand scenario).
- Sweden, in case of Sweden SLID, the situation is improving in National Trends scenario due to low demand scenario (low demand for power generation) and in Distributed Energy scenario for which the increase in indigenous production is not sufficient to compensate the high demand for power.
- Finland is exposed to high demand curtailment with a slight improvement compared to 2025 in National Trends scenario due to low demand for power. For the other scenarios, the high indigenous production is not enough to compensate the high demand for power and the demand curtailment is still high (70 %).
- Estonia is exposed to a risk of demand curtailment in National Trends scenario due to high demand for power compared to other scenarios.
- Poland is in a similar position with higher demand curtailment in Global Ambition and National Trends scenarios (15 %) and demand curtailment comparable with 2025 (11 %).
- In case of SLID in Slovakia, Slovakia is exposed to a significant risk of demand curtailment (24 %) and in the same time, neighbouring countries as Austria and Czech Republic are also exposed to the same risk (24 %) due to cooperation mode between neighbouring countries.
Eastern Europe
- Croatia is exposed to a significant risk of demand curtailment (35 %) due to an infrastructure limitation with Slovenia in National Trends scenario. The risk still exists (16 %) in Global Ambition scenario where the indigenous production is not enough to compensate high demand for power generation. The risk is mitigated (8 %) in Distributed Energy due to low demand specially for power and high indigenous production.
- Slovenia is exposed to a significant risk of demand curtailment (53 %) due to an infrastructure limitation with Croatia and Italy and high demand for power in Global Ambition and National Trends scenarios. The situation is mitigated (40 %) in Distributed Energy where indigenous production is compensating partially high demand for power.

The situation is mitigated (43 and 47 %) in Distributed Energy scenario where indigenous production is compensating partially high demand for power and in National Trends scenario with the lowest demand value.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia have only one interconnection and are exposed to 100 % demand curtailment in case of their SLID respectively.

Western Europe

In the same time, Northern Ireland which depends totally of Moffat interconnection is also exposed to 100 % demand curtailment.
- Portugal is exposed to demand curtailment (25 %) due to infrastructure limitation with the Spain-Portugal interconnection and high demand scenario in Global Ambition scenario. In National Trends scenario, the demand curtailment reaches 34 % due to high demand for power and 16 % in Distributed Energy with high indigenous production.
- In case of SLID in Austria, Austria is exposed to a slight risk of demand curtailment (2 %) in Global Ambition scenario and Italy is cooperating and might be exposed to a marginal risk of demand curtailment too.

2040
North Eastern Europe

In Global Ambition scenario the situation is mitigated but still persist with demand curtailment around 24 % in Denmark, 53 % in Sweden (High demand for power but low indigenous production). In National Trends scenario, Denmark mitigates risk of demand curtailment with Indigenous production compare to Sweden which is still exposed to risk of demand curtailment (54 % in Sweden).
- Indigenous production in Distributed Energy scenario mitigates risk of demand curtailment in Finland. In Global Ambition and National Trends scenarios, the risk of demand curtailment is still high (51 and 81 %) due to an infrastructure limitation with Estonia not compensated with indigenous production.
- Poland is exposed to demand curtailment in all scenarios. Indigenous production is not enough to compensate the high demand for power in National Trends (17 %) compared to the other scenario (12 % in Distributed Energy and in Global Ambition).
Eastern Europe

The risk is fully mitigated in Distributed Energy due to low demand specially for power and high indigenous production.

In the same time, Northern Ireland which depends totally of Moffat interconnection is also exposed to 100 % demand curtailment.
- Portugal is exposed to demand curtailment (29 %) due to infrastructure limitation with the Spain-Portugal interconnection, high demand scenario and low indigenous production in National Trends scenario. Demand curtailment is mitigated in Global Ambition scenario with 8 % and fully mitigated in Distributed Energy with demand scenarios compensated partially by high indigenous production.
