Our new website on ENTSO-E’s Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) is now available, with a wealth of resources on European grid planning, including the final TYNDP 2022 package. The main challenge tackled by the new site is to ensure that the vast amount of data and documents published as part of ENTSO-E’s successive TYNDPs since 2010 is easily accessible to interested stakeholders.

About the TYNDP

ENTSO-E’s TYNDP is the European electricity infrastructure development plan. It links, supports, and complements national grid development plans. It provides a wide European vision of the future power system up to 2050 and investigates how power links and storage can be used to make the energy transition happen in a cost-effective and secure way.

TYNDP 2022, now available in its final version after ACER opinion, investigated system needs in 2030 and 2040. It finds that opportunities to improve the power system exist all over Europe. In 2030, the study finds 64 additional GW of needs on over 50 borders, a 55% increase on the 2025 grid. In 2040, results find space for 88 GW of cross-border capacity increase after 2025 on over 65 borders. By connecting more consumers with more producers, grid development allows a better use of the cheapest generation. As a result, European countries can exchange electricity to replace expensive generation (gas and coal) with cheaper one (mainly renewable). Addressing system needs would reduce gas-based generation by 9 TWh by 2030 and 75 TWh in 2040 in the ENTSO-E area.

TYNDP 2022 assessed how 141 transmission projects and 23 storage projects could contribute to reaching the EU’s energy and climate goals, with a series of indicators on CO2 emission, security of supply, RES integration…

What is new on the TYNDP website

For TSOs and stakeholders who discover TYNDP for the first time, the ‘Explore’ part contains high-level articles on various aspects of the TYNDP. For TSOs and stakeholders who use TYNDP on a regular basis, the ‘Resources’ part is a database where all TYNDP deliverables can be accessed with filters. Pages ‘About the TYNDP’ and a page dedicated to promoters of infrastructure projects complete the site.
