Ten Year Network Development Plan 2015 |
17
This TYNDP is produced by ENTSOG in compliance
with the European 3
rd
Energy Package requirement to
produce “a non-binding Community-wide ten-year net-
work development plan including a European supply ad-
equacy outlook every two years” (Art. 8(3)(b), REG-715).
The TEN-E Regulation has introduced a new regulatory
obligation resulting in the implementation of the Energy
System-Wide Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) as part of
TYNDP (Art. 1 1(1)(b), REG-347). This regulation also put
the obligation on each promoter to submit their projects
to TYNDP if they want to take part into the selection of
Projects of Common Interest (PCI).
This Ten Year Network Development Plan 2015 (TYNDP) represents the fourth
edition of the report published by ENTSOG since 2010. The entry into force of the
TEN-E Regulation has resulted in major upgrades, one of the most obvious being the
extension of the time horizon from ten to twenty-one years for CBA purposes. In
order to ensure the robustness of the assessment on this extended time horizon
ENTSOG has further developed its multiple scenario approach. In that context
TYNDP aims to measure from an infrastructure perspective the level of completion
of the three pillars of the EU Energy Policy (security of supply, competition and
sustainability).
ENHANCEMENTS OF THIS FOURTH TYNDP EDITION
Since the first publication of the Plan, ENTSOG has strived to increase the quality of
its reports in close co-operation with stakeholders. In order to ensure consistency,
ENTSOG has unified the stakeholder engagement process on TYNDP and CBA
methodology development. Based on feedback collected during the TYNDP 2013
consultation as well as other sources, four key areas for further improvement have
been identified:
\\
Development of the modelling approach for gas demand in power generation
sector
\\
Development of new indicators and monetization approach following new
regulatory requirements
\\
Definition of an alternative gas demand scenario
\\
Improvement of the background of gas supply scenarios
