ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity)

Framework for systematically evaluating energy system flexibility requirements across transmission and distribution networks

Renewable electricity in the TYNDP 2026 context refers mainly to utility-scale and distributed solar photovoltaics, onshore and offshore wind, plus other low-carbon sources such as hydropower and sustainable bioenergy that together form the backbone of Europe’s decarbonized power system.[1] These technologies are expected to replace fossil-based generation progressively, supplying both direct electrification needs and electricity for hydrogen production and other power-to-X processes.[7]

Systems used to store energy from renewable sources to ensure continuous operation of the biorefinery.

Comprehensive revision and update of EU DSO Entity's statutory documents, rules of procedure, and governance structures to accommodate expansion from electricity-only to multi-vector (electricity, natural gas, hydrogen) distribution operator representation

Joint initiative to develop standardized methodology for assessing flexibility requirements across EU electricity system, including definition of data types, formats, and analytical approaches for regulatory authorities

Development of EU-wide regulatory framework governing demand response mechanisms, flexibility information systems, task delegation, data exchange standards, and demand-side management in electricity markets
