Electricity News & Events

ENTSO-E is an international non-profit association (AISBL) established under Belgian law, financed by its members with contributions to the budget dependent on the number of countries and the population served.

ENTSO-E’s headquarters, in Brussels, is headed by the secretary-general who represents ENTSO-E to European institutions, regulators, and stakeholders.

The highest body of ENTSO-E is the Assembly, which is composed of representatives at CEO level of all the current members. The ENTSO-E Board of twelve representatives is elected every two years from the overall members and through the Assembly. The president, vice president, and committee chairs are invited to board meetings. The board coordinates the committees and Legal and Regulatory Group (LRG) work and implements Assembly decisions.

ENTSO-E has four specialised committees composed of managers from member TSOs. Each committee leads a number of regional groups and working groups. At the same level is the LRG who advise all ENTSO-E bodies on legal and regulatory issues. There are also expert groups on data, network codes implementation, and EU affairs provide specific expertise and work products to the members.

As the legally mandated body of electricity TSOs at the European level, ENTSO-E governance shapes future energy policy in the areas of:

Security: pursuing coordinated, reliable and secure operations of the TSO networks, both now and in the future.

Market: proposing and implementing standardised market integration and transparency frameworks in wholesale and retail markets.

Sustainability: facilitating secure integration of new generation sources, particularly renewable energy, as well as significantly contributing to the EU's greenhouse gases reduction and renewable energy supply objectives.

Network Adequacy: promoting the development of the interconnected European grid and investments for a reliable, efficient and sustainable power system.
