ENTSOG Annual Report 2016

System Development Area

The System Development business area covers all ENTSOG activities related

to gas supply, demand and infrastructures. The main deliverables are short and

medium to long-term assessments such as the Ten-Year Network Development

Plan (TYNDP) and Supply Outlooks. 2016 was marked by the development and

draft publication of the TYNDP 2017 and by the support provided to Regional

Groups for the 3

selection of Projects of Common Interest.

AREA STRUCTURE

All activities within the System Development Area are

managed via the Investment Working Group (INV WG) and

supplemented by a number of Kernel Groups (KGs) with

more specialised tasks.

The INV WG is responsible for developing regulatory deliv-

erables: the Union-wide Ten-Year Network Development

Plan (TYNDP), the Winter and Summer Outlooks and the

update to the Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) methodology. It is

also responsible for deliverables that ENTSOG is developing

on a voluntary basis in line with its Annual Work Program:

Winter and Summer reviews, the Transmission Capacity

Map and the System Development Map developed in col-

laboration with GIE.

The Working Group (WG) is supported in its mission by four

Kernel Groups (KGs), each of which focuses on specific

oping and enhancing ENTSOG’s modelling tool and
