2.3 Data collection process
The quality of the assessment carried out in the TYNDP
depends on the availability, consistency and quality of
the collected data. Collecting the data to assess infra-
structure projects has been particularly challenging as
there are a wide variety of promoters and stakeholders
involved which are very different in their features.
The TEN-E Regulation puts an obligation on PCI candidate project promoters to
submit their projects to ENTSOG for inclusion in the TYNDP. This goes with an
additional responsibility for ENTSOG to put in place an adequate process to collect
this data.
Only projects actively submitted by promoters through the ENTSOG Data Portal have
been considered in this edition of the TYNDP. This process ensures transparency
and non-discrimination between projects.
The additional data required for the PCI selection process and the necessity to track
projects from one TYNDP edition to the next one led ENTSOG to put in place the
Data Portal, a permanent online portal open to all project promoters. This tool to-
gether with the close cooperation with the European Commission has ensured that
all possible candidates for gaining or maintaining PCI status have been included in
the TYNDP. ENTSOG endeavours to improve the collection process and welcomes
stakeholder feedback.
