ENTSOG TYNDP 2015

This TYNDP is produced by ENTSOG in compliance with the European 3 rd Energy Package requirement to produce “a non-binding Community-wide ten-year net- work development plan including a European supply ad- equacy outlook every two years” (Art. 8(3)(b), REG-715). The TEN-E Regulation has introduced a new regulatory obligation resulting in the implementation of the Energy System-Wide Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) as part of TYNDP (Art. 1 1(1)(b), REG-347). This regulation also put the obligation on each promoter to submit their projects to TYNDP if they want to take part into the selection of Projects of Common Interest (PCI). This Ten Year Network Development Plan 2015 (TYNDP) represents the fourth edition of the report published by ENTSOG since 2010. The entry into force of the TEN-E Regulation has resulted in major upgrades, one of the most obvious being the extension of the time horizon from ten to twenty-one years for CBA purposes. In order to ensure the robustness of the assessment on this extended time horizon ENTSOG has further developed its multiple scenario approach. In that context TYNDP aims to measure from an infrastructure perspective the level of completion of the three pillars of the EU Energy Policy (security of supply, competition and sustainability). Since the first publication of the Plan, ENTSOG has strived to increase the quality of its reports in close co-operation with stakeholders. In order to ensure consistency, ENTSOG has unified the stakeholder engagement process on TYNDP and CBA methodology development. Based on feedback collected during the TYNDP 2013 consultation as well as other sources, four key areas for further improvement have been identified: \\ Development of the modelling approach for gas demand in power generation sector \\ Development of new indicators and monetization approach following new regulatory requirements \\ Definition of an alternative gas demand scenario \\ Improvement of the background of gas supply scenarios ENHANCEMENTS OF THIS FOURTH TYNDP EDITION
