🌍@ENTSOG and UK TSOs met for the 14th #EU – #UK #Gas #TSOs Taskforce, kindly hosted by @_Interconnector ! 📊The topics of this successful exchange included #market developments, #networkcodes, #gasflows, #securityofsupply, and future #planning, as well as sharing knowledge on current and future #European gas regulations, including the possible revision of the rules governing the allocation of gas transmission capacity at cross-border interconnection points. 🤝Regular #cooperation between UK TSOs and ENTSOG provides a valuable platform for exchanging views on security of supply, regulatory developments, the #energytransition, and future planning #outlooks on both sides. 💡We also appreciated the valuable insights provided through @neso_energy's presentation. 👋Looking forward to the next meeting!

🗣️@ENTSOG, Dante Powell, contributes to the discussion on renewable gases in Europe’s heating and cooling transition at the @Eurogas Renewable Gas Conference. 🏠Alongside Monica Di Pinti (@EHI), Nevin Alija (@Floene), and Valérie Séjourné (@SolarHeat_EU), and moderated by Sonja van Renssen, Dante explored how a multi-energy and multi-technology approach can support the #decarbonisation of Europe’s #building sector. 🧩Contributions highlighted the importance of considering local circumstances, #infrastructure availability and system #flexibility when assessing pathways towards emissions reductions. 🧮In the discussion, Dante reflected the outcomes on the modelling for #TYNDP 2026 Scenarios with respect to demand and supply; underscoring the importance of robust #modelling and #planning to assess decarbonisation pathways, support informed investment decisions and enable efficient integration of #renewable and #lowcarbon #energy solutions.

🎤@ENTSOG, Piotr Kus, was pleased to join the @Swissgas Annual General Assembly as a guest speaker for the event. The occasion provided an opportunity to present ENTSOG’s perspective on #gasinfrastructure, system operation and the role of transmission networks in supporting a secure, integrated and decarbonising European energy system. 🔎During his intervention, Piotr highlighted several key messages: - The importance of maintaining and #optimising existing infrastructure throughout the #energytransition; - Strengthening resilience through #crossborder #cooperation and coordinated system operation; - The growing role of long-term network #planning in balancing #affordability, #competitiveness and #securityofsupply; - Creating pathways for renewable and low-carbon gases, including #biomethane, while preserving system #flexibility and #reliability. 🔄Looking ahead, Piotr stressed that the energy transition will require coordinated planning across #gas, #electricity, and #hydrogen, with #CO₂ networks also emerging as a component of gas infrastructure. Such an approach will help ensure a secure and resilient energy system while enabling the growth of #biomethane and other #renewable and #lowcarbon gases alongside #naturalgas. 🙏ENTSOG thanks SWISSGAS for the invitation and the opportunity to exchange views with stakeholders from across the energy sector.

@ENTSOG , George Wüstner spoke at the @ERSE seminar on regulating the gas sector in the context of the energy transition! 📊In the context of evolving gas flows and the energy transition, George participated as a panelist in Session II on allowed revenues, CAPEX recovery signals, and the role of #depreciation and #incentives across different parts of the #gas #infrastructure. 👨‍🏫He underlined that gas infrastructure remains a core asset for the energy system. Discussions about #tariffs should take into account the trend to more short-term bookings, changes in gas flows, the energy transitions and a broader #securityofsupply and system perspective. Allowed revenue frameworks should reflect #TSO assets, national specificities, while continuing to enable #investment in the network and the #energytransition. 🔄Exchanges also discussed how regulatory approaches can respond to structural changes, including adjustments to depreciation policies, the impact of utilisation levels, and the signals provided for #optimising infrastructure. 👤Moderated by Arnaud DIETRICH (@CRE), the panel brought together Caroline Milgram (@energiecontrol ), Rocío Prieto Gonzalez (@CNMC_ES ), Gavin Knott (@ofgem ) and Henrik Diersmann (@UniversitätzuKöln), fostering a technical and forward-looking exchange on how regulatory frameworks can evolve alongside the #energytransition and current challenges. 👉The presentations will be made available here after their upload: tinyurl.com/3z7zbjdd

Time for reflection…. 🤔 ✍As we begin work on the #TYNDP 2028 scenario process, we take this time to reflect on the lessons learned from the previous cycle, and @ENTSOG’s further work to assess supply-demand adequacy across the #gas grid. 🎯ENTSOG’s goal, with the gas TSOs, is to reflect the real-time progress of the #energytransition and transporting increasing volumes of #renewable and #lowcarbon gases, while also underlining the essential role of gas #infrastructure (and natural gas/methane) in ensuring #securityofsupply, system #flexibility and the #stability of the overall energy system. Most importantly, it should be recognised that gas infrastructure enables full energy system optimisation, delivering reliable energy supply when needed, and ensuring competitive energy for European industries. 🚨There is growing recognition that relying solely on target-driven scenarios does not always capture the realities of today’s energy system.🚨 That is why, increasing focus and work on complementary analyses can only be beneficial. Further analyses help to better reflect actual system developments and bridge the gap between ambition and implementation, where uncertainties are high and transition impacts are increasingly visible. 🔍Adding different perspectives show where we really are in the energy transition, not just where we aim to be. Increasing the frequency and variability of the analyses ultimately leads to more credible, transparent and actionable insights for the energy system.

💧🔥⚡@ENTSOG was pleased to contribute to @ENNOH's 1st Annual Conference, #ENNOHAC2026, bringing gas, hydrogen and electricity networks perspectives on Europe’s future energy infrastructure. 🎤 At the session “Leaders’ conversation: The future energy infrastructure system”, Pierre Duvieusart (@ENTSOG), joined Christoph von dem Bussche, (@ENNOH), and Damian Cortinas (@ENTSO_E ), for an exchange on coordinated planning across molecules and electrons. The discussion was moderated by Fatima Sadouki (@montelnews ). 🟡 Europe’s future #infrastructure needs require planning on a full #energysystem basis, recognising the complementary roles of #gas, #hydrogen and #electricity in supporting resilience, flexibility and affordability. 🔵 Stronger cooperation on data-sharing, modelling and future #TYNDP work remains essential to support coordinated network development across sectors. 🟢Existing #gas assets, including repurposed infrastructure, transporting #renewable and #low-carbon gases (e.g #biomethane and #hydrogen), #storage and system #flexibility, can help enable a faster and cheaper transition. 🧩 Pierre said “Our members are infrastructure operators. We know what it takes to plan, build and operate energy systems in the real world. If we continue bringing that practical expertise together, we can help Europe make the energy transition both ambitious and deliverable.” 👉 More information on these deliverables is available on our website: ENTSOG | ENTSOG

📢@ENTSOG launches its 12th podcast episode in video and audio formats, opening a new series spotlighting European TSO projects, starting with the #GREENCONNECT initiative led by @natrangroupe and @EnerginetDK. 🟢This new #podcast series in 2026 shows concrete projects from European gas #TSOs, offering insights into infrastructure development for the energy transition, energy security and system integration.
