Recital 2
(2) Well-functioning markets and systems and an increase in interconnection capacities between Member States are the best guarantee of security of supply. However, even where markets and systems function well and are interconnected, the risk of an electricity crisis (as a result of extreme weather conditions, malicious attacks or a fuel shortage) can never be excluded. The consequences of crisis situations often extend beyond national borders. Even where incidents start locally their effects can rapidly spread across borders. Some extreme circumstances, such as a cold spell, a heat wave or a cyber-attack, may affect entire regions at the same time.
