ENTSOG, in coordination with gas Transmission System Operator (TSOs) members and associations representing Distribution System Operators (DSOs) - EUROGAS, CEDEC, GEODE, and GD4S – developed recommendations to TSOs on their technical cooperation with DSOs in 2024. This was required by Regulation (EU) 2024/1789, (the Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Markets Regulation).

This document provides recommendations to TSOs for enhancing technical cooperation with connected DSOs. Recognising their joint responsibility in managing over two million km of gas infrastructure across Europe, the document emphasises the crucial role of TSO-DSO collaboration in ensuring a secure, efficient, and decarbonised energy system. These non-binding recommendations aim to support the integration of renewable and low-carbon gases while accommodating national differences in network structures and practices. The document also highlights the need for flexible, future-oriented coordination to strengthen Europe’s gas network in the energy transition.
