Introduction
The successful implementation of these activities also relies on the input provided by stakeholders via ENTSO-E’s Independent Advisory Council, the Network Codes European Stakeholder Committees and other stakeholders groups, and via the public consultation processes.
This Annual Report has been submitted for stakeholders’ views in a public consultation from 22 June to 20 July 2020. The comments received have been considered and the Annual Report was submitted to ACER for opinion on 23 July.
2019 was marked by the entry into force of the Clean Energy Package (CEP). While ENTSO-E and TSOs are still implementing the Third Package, work has already begun in 2019 on new legal mandates stemming from the CEP.
Report Structure
