System Operation Area
The System Operations business area is mainly in charge of developing technical
network codes, evaluating all activities related to gas quality standardisation,
developing and maintaining existent Common Network Operation Tools (CNOT),
and the performance of ENTSOG’s Transparency Platform (TP). At present,
System Operations comprises two main working groups: Interoperability
(INTWG) and Transparency (TRAWG).
Transparency
The energy market liberalisation process, aimed at securing a genuine, well-functioning, open and efficient internal mar-
ket in gas, has significantly changed the gas transmission business and increased the need for transparency. In this
respect, specific obligations for gas TSOs have been introduced through Regulation (EC) No 715/2009, which defines
the basic transparency rules, further specified in Chapter 3 of Annex I (and its amendments).
The network codes have been developed to provide rules
and procedures to reach an appropriate level of harmonisa-
tion towards efficient gas trading and transport across gas
transmission systems in the EU, increasing requirements
for data publication.
Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 and its Commission Imple-
menting Regulation (EU) No 1348/2014 introduced addi-
tional publication and reporting obligations to the market
participants, aimed at supporting market monitoring, to fos-
ter open and fair competition in wholesale energy markets
and the completion of a fully functioning, interconnected
and integrated internal energy market.
