Overview

In accordance with Article 19e of the (EU) 2019/943 which entered into force with the (EU) 2024/1724, Electricity Market Design Reform (EMDR), DSO Entity and ENTSO-E have been entrusted to define the data type, the data format, and the methodology for the analysis of the flexibility needs (Flexibility Needs Assessment Methodology or FNA methodology) that each electricity distribution system operators (DSOs) transmission system operators (TSOs) will provide their national regulatory authority or designated authority or entity. 

DSO Entity and ENTSO-E established a joint task force to carry out their legal mandate by the 17 of April 2025, while engaging with key stakeholders. This public consultation allows all interested parties to submit their opinions on the FNA methodology draft, further ensuring transparency. 

The draft for consultation, supporting material, and a printable version of consulation questions (only for circulation) can be accessed through these links: draft, supporting document, consultation questions. 

The draft methodology under consultation was presented during a public webinar on November 15th 2024. The recording of this webinar and the presentation slides can be accessed here: recording, slides.   

Please note that only responses received via this tool within the public consultation period will be considered. 

Next Steps

Soon after the end of the consultation period, the DSO Entity and ENTSO-E will consolidate the eligible feedback and address it. Relevant and pragmatic feedback may be incorporated in the methodology.
