Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2014
Regulation (EC) 714/2009 requests ENTSO-E to “adopt a non-binding Community-wide ten-year network development plan” (TYNDP) with the objective to ensure greater transparency regarding the entire electricity transmission network in the Community and to support the decision making process at the regional and European levels.
The first official TYNDP package was released on 5 July 2012, two years after the pilot TYNDP publication in 2010. The second official TYNDP it is expected to be released for stakeholder consultation at the end of June/beginning of July 2014, with the final version being published in December 2014.
In the light of the Regulation (EU) 347/2013 on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure, which entered into force on 15 May 2013, the TYNDP plays a double role to:
- Ensure greater transparency regarding the entire European electricity transmission network and to support the decision making process at regional and European levels;
- Form the sole base for the selection of Projects of Common Interest (PCIs).
TYNDP 2014 Improvements
- Tackles a longer time horizon: the TYNDP 2014 incorporates 2030 visions, which provide a bridge between the EU 2020 and 2050 energy targets. This outlook on the generation mix and load evolution is based on the input received from stakeholders during specific workshops. As a final consolidation step, ENTSO-E ran a public consultation on the 2030 Visions dataset.
- New procedure on inclusion of the third party projects in the 2014 version of the TYNDP: The new version of the Procedure for the inclusion of third party projects – transmission and storage, in the TYNDP 2014 published on 23 September 2013, (and which updates the previous Procedure for inclusion of third party projects published on 21 January 2013) is in part based on comments and suggestions received from stakeholders (20 November workshop), ACER and EC during workshops and bilateral meetings held in the last quarter of 2012.
- Intermediate update of the TYNDP 2012 table of projects: In July 2013 ENTSO-E published an update of the table of projects, incorporating changes in commissioning dates, status of projects and technical descriptions.

- Creation of the Long-Term Development Stakeholder Group: This group will be initially built around the elaboration of the TYNDP and more generally, for the grid development issues for the coming decade. It may further develop to encompass other topics. Visit the Long-Term Development Stakeholder Group page for more information on the group’s activity and other relevant material.
- Cost and Benefit Analysis (CBA) methodology. This methodology constitutes an update of ENTSO-E’s Guidelines for Grid Development, aiming at compliance with the requirements of the draft Regulation mentioned above, and ensuring a common framework for multi-criteria cost benefit analysis for candidate projects of common interest (PCI) and other projects falling within the scope of the TYNDP.

TYNDP 2014 Process
The plan’s elaboration, based on common European scenarios and market database, is a two-year process involving more than 200 specialists from all over Europe. Visit the Stakeholder Interaction page for details on stakeholder workshops and consultations.
Identification and assessment of the infrastructure (using the CBA methodology mentioned above) are performed at the regional level in order to accommodate and consider all the relevant particularities occurring within each region.
