The reserves of gas that we
already know exist in conven-
tional reservoirs will provide
enough to meet more than 120
years of demand at today’s
consumption rates.
TYNDP 2015
The fourth edition of the Ten-Year Network Development
plan was published on 16 March 2015. It was the first
report developed within the joint Third Energy Package
and new TEN-E Regulation.
The adapted CBA methodology was fully implemented to
develop TYNDP 2015. Compared to the previous edition, the
time horizon was extended from 10 to 21 years, price infor-
mation was included and a second demand scenario was
introduced. These changes have increased the amount of
information available in TYNDP and lead to a more complex
report.
TYNDP was updated early in 2015 – at a late stage in its
development process – to reflect the announced cancella-
tion of the South Stream project. ENTSOG’s reaction allowed
the TYNDP report to be published on 16 March 2015, with
only a few weeks’ delay and in time to serve as the basis for
the second PCI selection. On 1 April 2015, following a re-
quest from the European Commission, ENTSOG launched
an exceptional call for projects in South-East Europe to miti-
gate the cancellation of South Stream. An addendum of
TYNDP 2015, including the projects collected during this
call, was published on 29 June 2015.
Following the release of the report, ENTSOG held public
consultation from 31 March to 5 June 2015 and organised a
public workshop from 19 to 20 May 2015 to collect stake-
holders’ views on TYNDP 2015. On 23 July, ENTSOG pub-
lished the analysis of the public consultation feedback and
submitted TYNDP to ACER. ACER published its opinion on
TYNDP 2015 on 20 October 2015. ENTSOG has built on
ACER opinion and stakeholders feedback to propose im-
provements for the next edition of TYNDP.
Support for Regional Groups
On behalf of promoters, ENTSOG committed to a second
selection to handle the modelling part of the project-specif-
ic CBA for project candidates to the PCI label. This ensured
a streamlined and consistent delivery of the project assess-
ment.
In addition, ENTSOG has actively participated in the region-
al groups and supported their work in selecting PCIs.
