SUPPORT FOR GAS COORDINATION GROUP

The Gas Coordination Group (GCG) is a platform established by Regulation (EU) 994 / 2010 that introduces measures of safeguarding the securi- ty of gas supply. The role of the Gas Coordination Group (GCG) is to exchange information and best practices, and to facilitate implementation of Security of Supply (SoS) standards. Members include the European Commission, representatives of EU Member States, ENTSOG and other international and Euro- pean associations. ENTSOG is often asked for its expert opinion on different SoS-related subjects and also assists GCG by modelling the resilience of the European gas system under specific scenarios. ENTSOG

also assists GCG by modelling the resilience of the European gas system under specific scenarios.

Every year, ENTSOG presents its seasonal Supply Outlooks, Seasonal Reviews and TYNDP to GCG. Member States and the European Commission use these data as inputs for their own analyses. For this reason, ENTSOG has offered to define which situations are to be included in future Supply Outlooks for GCG. In 2013, the GCG continues to draw its attention to the links between gas and electricity. The de- cline of underground gas storage (UGS) levels at the end of the injection season over the past few years has also been of concern for many Member States.
