Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2017 Main Report
F.3.1.2 Feedback on TYNDP sections
All of the main four sections of the report (Demand, Supply, Infrastructure and
Assessment Chapters) received a positive feedback.
Supply & Demand
The supply potentials are seen as one of the most interesting topics. The new
elements from the supply section were generally appreciated, with the most
welcomed elements being the “tomorrow as today” approach for supply potentials
in the 2017 time horizon, the consideration of ranges for the potentials, the informa-
tion on embedded diversification of LNG and the focus on the uncertain supply
sources in the supply chapter.
Demand scenarios are seen as a valuable activity and stakeholders generally
appreciate the indications on how the scenarios comply with the EU 2030 climate
and energy targets and the focus on the 3 scenarios reaching these targets.
However, stakeholders have expressed mixed views on the alignment of ENTSOG
scenarios with ENTSO-E’s visions regarding the future of power generation and on
the 4 scenarios intended to provide a comprehensive view on the possible future role
of gas. More specifically, the following comments were received:
\\
The range of the demand evolution – particularly after 2030 – which is
perceived as too narrow.
\\
The possibility to introduce a mix of top-down and bottom-up approaches for
scenario development.
\\
The suggestion to factor in sensitivities related to specific technological
advances.
Stakeholders also consider EU energy and climate targets as a key focus, although
some would support the introduction of a behind targets scenario. The following
comments were received:
\\
EU policy should be a key driver to investment.
\\
TYNDP misses assessing the infrastructure against achievement of the 2050
EU targets and of the Paris Agreement and the resulting below 2 degrees
pathway.
ENTSOG and ENTSO-E alignment on demand scenarios is generally seen as positive
and data availability is welcomed. Some stakeholders would like to see more
information on how scenarios achieve the climate targets (energy efficiency, CO ²
and RES-E).
