ENTSO-E Annual Work Programme

ENTSO-E publishes an Annual Work Programme as required under REGULATION (EU) 2019/943 on the internal market for electricity.

The priorities outlined in the Work Programme reflect the legal mandates given to ENTSO-E by REGULATION (EU) 2019/943 as amended by REGULATION (EU) 2024/1747 on the internal market for electricity, REGULATION (EU) 2019/941 on risk-preparedness in the electricity sector, REGULATION (EU) 2022/869 on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure, REGULATION (EU) No 543/2013 on the submission and publication of data in electricity markets (Transparency Regulation), Commission Regulation (EU) No 838/2010 of 23 September 2010 on guidelines relating to the inter-transmission system operator compensation mechanism.

ENTSO-E has already started the work on the implementation of the new Network Code on Cybersecurity and follows closely the developments on the upcoming Network Code on Demand Response after its submission to ACER on 8 May 2024.

Each year ENTSO-E releases the Work Programme for public consultation. Stakeholder comments received during the Work Program consultation help to improve the programme, as most ENTSO-E activities require successful cooperation with market participants, grid users, and for some topics, with distribution system operators.

Annual Work Programme 2025

This year, ENTSO-E ran a public pre-consultation phase of the list of deliverables of the Annual Work Programme 2025 that ran from 22 April 2024 until 5 May 2024, as part of its strategy to increase transparency in the adoption processes.

ENTSO-E, compliant with Article 31 of the Regulation (EU) 2019/943, submitted the Annual Work Programme for 2025 to a public consultation that ran from 5 July to 9 August 2024. The aim is for stakeholders to submit their comments and express their views in the preparation of the Annual Work Programme. Please access here the version submitted to consultation, and find below the overview of the comments received and how they were addressed.

During this year’s Public Consultation, on 10 July 2024 a public webinar was organised with Stakeholders to exchange views on the content and the different aspects of the Programme. Recording and slides are available here.

On 19 December 2024 ACER informed ENTSO-E per letter that they consider that the ENTSO-E Annual Work Programme for 2025 is in line with the requirements of Article 30(4) of the Regulation (EU) 2019/943 and does not intend to issue an opinion on the Annual Work Programme 2025 at this stage.

The Annual Work Programme 2025 was released in its final version on 19 December 2024.
