Annual Work Programme and Annual Reports
ENTSOG, as required by Regulation (EU) 2024/1789, publishes its Annual Work Programme (AWP) and Annual Report annually to inform stakeholders of planned activities and tasks undertaken. The Annual Report assesses ENTSOG’s work and achievements retrospectively for each given year and provides an opportunity for comparing the delivered results against the AWP. The ENTSOG AWP contains the expected activities for ENTSOG in the upcoming year, is aligned with the European Commission energy policies, takes into account the ACER opinions on ENTSOG’s work and allows the interested stakeholders to prepare their activities vis-à-vis ENTSOG.
ENTSOG Podcast
Gain insight into the various types of work undertaken by ENTSOG, to ensure that European energy and climate goals can be achieved in most the effective and timely way. We speak with the ENTSOG team and the gas TSOs about current processes and innovative initiatives on transporting renewable and low-carbon molecules.
Network Codes and Guidelines
Regulation (EU) 2024/1789 requires European-wide Network Codes (NC) to be developed by ENTSOG for cross-border network issues and market integration issues. While the development of the initial set of Network Codes and Guidelines has been completed, as obligated by Regulation (EC) No 715/200, ENTSOG continues to monitor and analyse their implementation and effectiveness, while supporting the development and amendment of future Network Codes and Guidelines as required under the evolving regulatory framework. Additionally and as needed, ENTSOG will also continue to actively participate in the further development of the NCs and the Guidelines through the Functionality Process.
Scenarios and Infrastructure
One of ENTSOG’s main deliverables are short and medium to long-term assessments such as those included in the Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) process, TYNDP being the Union-wide network development plan. In addition, the ENTSOG maps show commitment to transparency by providing up-to-date information to market participants.
Security of Supply
ENTSOG publishes Summer Supply Outlook and Winter Supply Outlook reports, to assess the ability of the European gas infrastructures to provide flexibility as well as the resilience of the European gas infrastructures under peak conditions. Regulation (EU) 2024/1789 requires that ENTSOG carry out a Union-wide simulation of gas supply and infrastructure disruption scenarios. ENTSOG has also been tasked to take part in the works of the Gas Coordination Group and ensure functionality of the Regional Coordination System for Gas (ReCo System for Gas).
Transparency and Technical Cooperation
ENTSOG provides a Union-wide platform on which all gas TSOs gas make their relevant data publicly available - the Transparency Platform. This platform provides technical and commercial data on gas transmission systems, which include interconnection points and connections with storages, LNG facilities, distribution networks, final consumers and production facilities ENTSOG ensures facilitation of the existing ReCo System for Gas as a CNOT for emergency conditions, including a common incidents classification scale, and other supporting documentation for the ReCo Teams. ENTSOG also provides a long-term Gas Quality Outlook in the TYNDP.
Energy Transition
ENTSOG continues regular engagement with European Commission, ACER, stakeholders and ENTSOG’s members to ensure a constructive and effective mutual dialogue to support of Europe's energy transition and the achievement of climate neutrality by 2050. In addition to usual workshops and prime movers groups, the ENTSOG team facilitates value-chain discussions through the Advisory Panel for Future Gas Grids, among others. The ENTSOG team is carrying out the activities and responsibilities entrusted to it r within Directive (EU) 2024/1788 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1789 (the Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Markets package), to decarbonise gas markets, promote low carbon and renewable gases and reduce methane emissions.
Positions and Consultation Responses
ENTSOG’s formal responses to consultations and positions on various topics are prepared is to enhance transparency and facilitate information sharing.
