The EU would meet its CO₂

target if gas replaced coal

for power generation.

UNION/EUROPEAN-WIDE NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) provides a picture of the European gas

infrastructure and its future developments, and it maps the integrated gas network according to a

range of development scenarios. The TYNDP also includes a European Capacity Adequacy Out-

look and an assessment of the network resiliency. Gas Regional Investment Plans (GRIPs) led by

TSOs with ENTSOG assistance complement the TYNDP by focusing on issues of particular region-

al importance.

SEASONAL OUTLOOKS

The aim of seasonal Supply Outlooks is to give an overview of how the European gas system can

potentially cope with the main challenges of the season ahead. This is done by taking into account

the latest supply and demand trends captured by seasonal reviews. ENTSOG’s Annual Summer

and Winter Supply Outlooks review projections for the gas supply, demand and capacity of the near

future. Supply Reviews analyse the actual situation over a particular period.

OPERATIONAL TOOLS

Regulation (EC) 715/2009 also envisages the use of common network operation tools to ensure

the transparency and coordination of network operations under normal and emergency conditions.

Following the requirement of Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/703 establishing a

Network Code on Interoperability and Data Exchange Rules, ENTSOG developed an interconnec-

tion agreement template covering the default terms and conditions set out in Articles 6 to 10 of the

Network Code.
