ENTSOG TYNDP 2015

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

For the development of this TYNDP, ENTSOG has carried out an open and transpar- ent stakeholder engagement process. This has been particularly important as most of the above improvements rely on knowledge and data beyond TSOs’ remit. The Stakeholder Joint Working Sessions (SJWS) were based on the approach initiated for the Network Code development process. They covered the following areas: \\ Network and market modelling principles \\ Input data (demand, supply and prices) \\ Infrastructure projects \\ Case studies on CBA methodology applicability Additionally, ENTSOG has intensified its collaboration with ENTSO-E to improve consistency between the TYNDPs of both associations. The stakeholder engagement process together with the formal opinion of ACER and the European Commission on the first CBA methodology have resulted in the follow- ing additions to the TYNDP: \\ New indicators reflecting the pillars of EU Energy Policy \\ Enhancement of the modelling approach to cover seasonality and power generation \\ Introduction of commodity prices scenarios The current energy policies do not succeed in taking full advantage of the environ- mental benefits of gas as the cleanest fossil fuel. Europe is rather facing a parallel development of coal and renewable power production which may not be perceived as the most cost-effective way on the long term. This situation results in a significant uncertainty about the role of gas in Europe. The growing uncertainty of the role of gas, the extension of the time horizon for CBA purposes and the need to provide a robust basis to the selection of PCI have made it necessary to significantly expand the number of scenario combinations assessed within this TYNDP.
