ENTSOG Annual Report 2014

The continuous relationship with the Energy Community Secretariat has evolved in parallel and bilateral relationship with some of the contracting parties. As a result Bosnia & Herze- govina and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are fully covered in the Summer 2015 and Winter 2014/15 Supply Outlooks. The TYNDP 2015 offered the opportunity to put infrastructure projects in the region into the whole European perspective. ENTSOG and the Energy Community Secretariat are targeting the extension of this collaboration to adjacent contracting parties such as Serbia and Ukraine. Such extension of the geographi- cal scope of Supply Outlooks and TYNDP will be mutually beneficial. It will make ENTSOG assessments more robust in taking into account the interaction between the EU gas market and surroundings areas.

System in the scope of the agenda of the Secu- rity of Supply Coordination Group.

The 3 rd meeting of the GAS Sub Group was held in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 7 October 2014. The participants were highly engaged and asked ENTSOG to further involve the third countries in the development of the Early Warning System. ENTSOG welcomed this and promised to take this further in order to strengthen cooperation with third countries, in line with Annex IV of Regulation 994/2010. ENTSOG participated in and/or co-hosted sever- al workshops of the Energy Community during the last years on the network codes CAM/CMP and Balancing to present the requirements set out in these and to provide assistance to Energy Community contracting parties in the implemen- tation process. On 27 November 2014, ENTSOG and the Energy Community Secretariat held a joint workshop on the implementation practices of the Balancing NC, focusing on the implemen- tation challenges of TSOs in Central and Eastern Europe. ENTSOG and the Energy Community concluded to share possible solutions when im- plementing network codes, e. g. the implemen- tation of booking platforms for transport capacity.
