(17)The provisions of Regulation (EU) 2022/1369 that acknowledge specific national circumstances in the event of a mandatory demand reduction triggered by a Union alert continue to apply. Member States remain able to temporarily limit the mandatory demand reduction where a Member State faces an electricity crisis, as referred to in Regulation (EU) 2019/941 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. Such a scenario may include a limitation proportional to a significantly increased use of gas for power generation, required to export significantly more electricity to a neighbouring Member State, due to exceptional circumstances, such as low hydropower or nuclear availability in the Member State concerned, or in the neighbouring Member State to which significantly more electricity is exported. That limitation should not exceed the volume of gas corresponding to the aforementioned additional exports. Member States should take into account that limitation when reporting their breakdown of gas consumption per sector.
