ENTSOG Annual Report 2014

Introduction

It was an ambitious and highly successful year for us at ENTSOG in 2014. Our two foremost accomplishments were the draft of the new tariff network code (TAR NC) and the first amendment to the capacity allocation mechanisms network code (CAM NC).

TAR NC was one of the most contentious topics that ENTSOG had been asked to develop and it generated much discussion between ENTSOG’s members and stakeholders. In line with the re- sults achieved in the previous year, ENTSOG successfully held open discussions with stake- holders and institutions. Another positive experi- ence in 2014 was the work we put into the inter- operability network code (INT NC) through the gas committee process. Here, ENTSOG made fundamental contributions to solving and ad- dressing some of the major issues. While preparing a new version of the Ten Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP), the crisis between Ukraine and Russia began to escalate and ENTSOG was called upon in an advisory ca- pacity by the European Commission. Here we helped by assessing various European gas mar- ket scenarios that could result from long term disruption to the Russian gas supply. ENTSOG provided a leading advisory voice on this issue and utilised some of their own specially devel- oped tools. We would like to extend our gratitude to the entire gas sector for acknowledging our role in dealing with issues of this nature.
