Stakeholder workshop on the draft input data and methodologies of 2026 TYNDP Scenarios cycle
ENTSOG (Avenue de Cortenbergh 100, 1000 Brussels, Belgium) and online
4 July, 10 am – 3 pm Brussels time
ENTSO-E and ENTSOG invite all interested stakeholders to take part in the public workshop on the 2026 TYNDP Scenarios draft input data and methodologies.
Taking place within the framework of 2026 TYNDP Scenarios development cycle, the stakeholder workshop will gather various representatives from public and private sectors to discuss the development and later implementation of the upcoming TYNDP Scenarios to achieve the goal of meaningful exchange of findings and continuation of building the right forecasts for Europe’s energy and climate ambitions from today over 2030, 2040 up until 2050.
In the run-up to the workshop, ENTSO-E and ENTSOG have opened a public consultation on draft input datasets and modelling methodologies, as the first deliverable in the formal process for the TYNDP 2026 scenario building, as required by Article 12 of (EU) 2022/869. The public consultation runs until 14 July.
Subjects to be discussed
The discussions will be structured following the publicly available consultation package that includes the Scenarios Innovation Roadmap, TSOs’ data reflecting NECPs and national and EU policies, modelling tools’ records illustrating demand and supply breakdowns by country, carrier and sector, including reference grid, climate year, generation, flexibility, technology, H2 and CO2 assumptions.
A particular focus will be laid on the draft economic variant methodology encompassing its regulatory foundation and assumptions, first approach and identification of possible bottlenecks and potential measures to further facilitate the stress-testing of the central Scenario.
Participants
The event intends to convene key stakeholders from across the European Union—including representatives from industry, NGOs, grid operators, regional and local authorities, and policymakers—while ensuring a balanced representation and incorporating diverse perspectives from all parts of the EU.
Outcome
A summary of the event’s conclusions will be published after the workshop, together with the public consultation’s outcomes.

Public consultation on the input data and methodologies on the Draft 2026 TYNDP Scenarios opens today
ENTSO-E and ENTSOG invite all interested stakeholders to take part in the public consultation on the Draft 2026 TYNDP Scenarios input data and methodologies. Taking place within the framework of the 2026 TYNDP Scenarios development cycle, the public consultation aims at gathering feedback from key stakeholders to further strengthen the development and later implementation of the upcoming TYNDP Scenarios as required by Article 12 of (EU) 2022/869. The public consultation plays a crucial role in achieving a meaningful exchange of findings, continuation of building the right forecasts for Europe’s energy and climate ambitions from today over 2030, 2040 up until 2050. The consultation will close on 14 July 2025.
In addition to the consultation, ENTSOG and ENTSO-E will hold a public workshop on 4 July 2025. This public workshop will include a dedicated session for the draft economic variants methodology to thoroughly determine the first-time economic variants methodology.
Details on what will be consulted:
To provide more information on the data and methodologies in relation to the Scenarios building and offer stakeholders the opportunity to ask questions and exchange findings, the consultation will include a draft package of data sets, methodologies, parameters and assumptions, complemented by additional documents for information.
The consultation package includes:
- TSOs’ data reflecting NECPs and national and EU policies – provided for informational purposes, including :
- ETM Dashboards illustrating energy demand breakdowns by carrier and sector
- ETM Links including country and sector specific energy demand inputs
- SMR and pyrolysis capacities
- PEMMDB 2.5. illustrating electricity generation and flexibility capacities
- Additional Data Collection supplementary supply and demand datasets
- Draft Supply assumptions:
- Commodity Prices
- H2 and ammonia import potentials
- Import prices for synthetic fuels
- Technology costs
- Draft Market Modelling methodologies – including relevant assumptions
- Draft Target Compliance and Gap filling methodologies
- Draft carbon budget methodology
- Draft Scenarios Grid methodology
- Draft Scenario weather year selection methodology
- Scenarios Innovation Roadmap
More information on the TYNDP 2026 Scenarios, including the Consultation Package, Innovation Roadmap and stakeholder engagement activities, can be found on the TYNDP 2026 Scenarios website.
Who can Participate:
The consultation intends to convene key stakeholders from across the European Union—including representatives from industry, NGOs, grid operators, regional and local authorities, and policymakers— while ensuring a balanced representation and incorporating diverse perspectives from all parts of the EU.
What are the Next steps
ENTSO-E and ENTSOG will consider the feedback received during the consultation when building TYNDP 2026 scenarios, which are expected to be published in draft form in Q1 2026. A summary of the public consultation feedback, and how it was considered, will be published.

ENTSO-E and ENTSOG release Innovation Roadmap for TYNDP Scenarios
On 27 February 2025 ENTSO-E and ENTSOG have released the Innovation Roadmap for TYNDP Scenarios. The Roadmap lists potential improvements to the scenario building process, proposed by TSOs, by the Scenarios Stakeholder Reference Group and by the scenario-building experts at ENTSO-E and ENTSOG. The Roadmap emphasizes the need for consistency between successive TYNDP cycles while accommodating emerging trends and expectations. Improvements in each cycle will be guided by prior evaluations and stakeholder feedback.
The Roadmap includes a review of the innovations that were not implemented during the 2024 cycle, essential model fixes for improving the TYNDP 2024 model, and newly proposed innovations for the TYNDP 2026 scenario cycle. Additionally, this report lists further requirements from the Scenarios Stakeholder Reference Group, electricity and gas TSOs, and other stakeholders to complement and prioritize innovations for future cycles (TYNDP 2028 and TYNDP 2030).
Innovations in TYNDP 2026 Scenarios
The TYNDP 2026 cycle will be the first to fully comply with the ACER Framework Guideline, requiring already the implementation of several innovations in the scenario development approach. Given the compressed timeline for this cycle, there is a need to prioritize toolchain enhancements to ensure the timely development of scenarios. Therefore for 2026 the focus will be on addressing critical model issues identified thanks to stakeholder feedback on 2024 Scenarios, to ensure a high-quality baseline model.
Consultation and next steps
The Innovation Roadmap will be released for consultation along with the 2026 input parameters at the end of Q2 2025. Stakeholders feedback will be considered to further prioritize innovations for TYNDP 2028 and future scenarios cycles. ENTSO-E and ENTSOG will release an updated version of the Roadmap in early 2026.
About TYNDP scenarios
Scenarios are a prerequisite for any study analysing the future of the European energy system. Regulation (EU) 2022/869 (‘Regulation’) requires that ENTSOG and ENTSO-E jointly develop scenarios for the future European energy system in the context of their respective Ten-Year Network Development Plans (TYNDPs). According to the Regulation, these “scenarios are fully in line with the energy efficiency first principle and with the Union’s 2030 targets for energy and climate and its 2050 climate neutrality objective and shall take into account the latest available Commission scenarios, as well as, when relevant, the national energy and climate plans (‘NECPs’)”.
