Definition
ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity) is the collaborative body for all TSOs in Europe, including StatnettNorway's system operator for the transmission grid - owns and operates the high-voltage network and operates Elhub.. ENTSO-E develops network codes and guidelines which, once adopted by the European Commission and ACEREU's energy regulator - coordinates national regulators and sets common rules for the power market., become binding for all TSOs and market participants. ENTSO-E coordinates system operations, capacity calculation for cross-border trading, and the harmonisation of market rules. The organisation defines the European reserve products (FCR, aFRR, mFRR), the Common Grid Model (CGMThe common grid model - the assembled data set European TSOs agree on, built from each area's own model and used as the basis for capacity calculation and operational security analysis across borders.), and the standards underpinning ECPEnergy Communication Platform - EU-standardised interface for secure data exchange between actors in the European power market. (Energy Communication Platform) and EDXEnergy Data Exchange - ENTSO-E's platform for structured exchange of power system data between European TSOs, primarily network models and capacity data.. Norway participates through the EEA Agreement, and ENTSO-E standards are implemented into Norwegian law via RMENorwegian Energy Regulatory Authority - government authority that regulates grid operations and energy markets.'s regulatory framework. Key ENTSO-E plans include the Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP).
