TYNDP 2026 Identification of System Needs Methodology
Energy Storage Europe has prepared a reply to the European Commission's public consultation on TYNDP 2026 Identification of System Needs Methodology. The European Commission’s public consultation seeks feedback on the analytical framework used by ENTSO-E to identify cost-efficient and technically robust opportunities for the development of Europe’s electricity system, without prescribing specific investment decisions.
The methodology underpins the assessment of onshore cross-border transmission, offshore infrastructure, and electricity storage needs across the 2035, 2040 and 2050 horizons, and introduces key evolutions such as a more granular zonal approach and the use of multiple representative weather scenarios to strengthen robustness.
