ENTSO-E highly values the input of all actors of the power sector, grid users, equipment manufacturers, service providers, generators,...More
ENTSO-E is developing methodologies for a common European grid model and the provision of data on generation and load. The development of both methodologies is required to implement the first adopted Network Code: the Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management (CACM) Regulation.
Grid operators use computer models of their network to simulate its behaviour in order to make decisions. Results of these simulations are notably used to decide on the list of actions transmission system...More
The Electricity Balancing network code is still under discussion and should be put to vote in 2016. As with other network codes, transmission system operators are engaged in projects that are implementing already some of the objectives of the future EU regulation on electricity balancing. One of these projects is called TERRE: Trans European Replacement Reserves Exchange.
TERRE is about setting up and operating a multi-TSO platform capable of gathering all the offers for Replacement...More

The TYNDP is a biennial European network development exercise which electricity and gas ENTSOs are developing in line with the legal mandates (Regulations (EC) 714 and 715/2009).
Without a well-functioning market, adapted legislation and the proper infrastructure in place, Europe cannot guarantee the decarbonisation of its economy, the development of its internal energy market and its security of supply. The TYNDPs are thus key to many of Europe’s economic, climate and energy objectives....More
