Ten Year Network Development Plan

Speaker: Daniel Dobbeni, President of ENTSO-E1 and CEO of Elia (Transmission System Operator of Belgium)
 
The first pilot edition of the TYNDP (Ten Year Network Development Plan) was released by ENTSO-E for public consultation from 1 March until 11 April 2010. The document presents close to 500 transmission investment projects across 34 European countries, worth € 23-28 billion over the first five years. Together, these projects help to achieve the European energy policy goals of increasing the use of renewable energy sources to 20% of total energy production by 2020, to further promoting the Internal Energy Market and to ensuring security of supply and system reliability.
 
• How can the TYNDP become an important input for the definition of the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs), which are to be delivered by EU member states by the end of June 2010? 
• What is the feedback from the European Commission, ERGEG and stakeholders on the pilot TYNDP? 
• How could the document provide input to the Infrastructure Package? 
 
Daniel Dobbeni discussed these issues and answered the questions of the audience.
