62. With regard to the internal electricity market, calls on the Commission urgently to provide a thorough analysis of the system adequacy and flexibility of national generation capacities in the short and long term, fully taking into account the potential contribution of all flexible measures, such as demand response, energy storage and interconnection, and to report on the impact of the applied national measures related to capacity assessment and development planning on the internal energy market and competition rules, taking into account the consequences in terms of both security of supply and the cross-border aspects of this complementary market design policy; calls, in this regard ...[+++], on further efforts to be put on the future uptake of energy storage technologies and demand-side responsiveness, all of which are additional sources of flexibility;
