On 31 December 2020, the United Kingdom (‘UK’) officially left the European Union (“EU”) with a Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”) signed on the same date.
Annex 3 – Cooperation with UK TSOs
The TCA foresees that:
- ENTSO-E and the UK TSOs shall prepare under the guidance of the Specialised Committee on Energy a framework for cooperation not involving, or conferring a status comparable to, membership in ENTSO-E by UK TSOs;
- EU and UK TSOs shall prepare technical procedures once requested by the Specialised Committee on Energy.
As a result, ENTSO-E and the UK TSOs elaborated in 2021 – with the guidance of the EC and the UK Government – Working Arrangements (WAs) setting out an efficient and inclusive framework for cooperation. The Working Arrangements were finalised and submitted for approval to the EC and the UK Government in early July 2021.
EU TSOs and UK TSOs have also been working in 2021 at the request of the parties to the TCA on the elaboration of technical procedures on (i) Multi-Regional Loose Volume Coupling and (ii) Capacity Calculation. The work on technical procedures is still ongoing.
