up to 70%.
COOPERATION WITH ENTSO-E
Due to the linkages between the gas and elec-
tricity markets, ENTSO-E and ENTSOG are in-
creasingly collaborating with each other. In
2013, the focus was on gas demand for power
generation and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)
methodology.
In response to stakeholder feedback on TYNDP
2011–2020 and the analysis of the cold spell in
February 2012, ENTSOG has strengthened its
cooperation with ENTSO-E and expanded its
study of gas demand for power generation. This is
being done by comparing the various ENTSOs
scenarios in TYNDP 2013–2022 and identifying
the gas demand for power generation in Seasonal
Reviews.
In 2013, continuous working collaborations were
established between ENTSOG and ENTSO-E.
Regular meetings are held to discuss power gen-
eration, modelling and development of CBA meth-
odology. Knowledge sharing is now regulated
through a contractual framework.
The new TEN-E Regulation was developed with
the objective of developing highly consistent sce-
narios for CBAs at both ENTSOG and ENTSO-E. In
pursuit of this target, cooperation was expanded
in 2013 and a joint workshop for Member States
and NRAs on the CBA methodology was held in
October 2013.
It must be emphasised that efficient collaboration
between ENTSOG and ENTSO-E will require in-
creased involvement from stakeholders and insti-
tutions in the gas and electricity markets alike.
