The document maps the EU's power system planning, detailing five primary workstreams: national and European grid needs, European and national capacity sufficiency, and system flexibility. It identifies the roles of key actors such as TSOs, ENTSO-E, ACER, and the European Commission, and specifies the frequency and purpose of core assessments like the Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) and Resource Adequacy Assessments (NRAA and ERAA).

• EU power system planning is divided into five distinct functional lines with specific responsibilities and frequencies: national transmission system needs (biennial, TSOs), cross-border transmission needs (biennial, ENTSO-E, ENTSOG, ENNOH), European capacity sufficiency (annual, ENTSO-E), national capacity sufficiency (annual, TSOs), and system-wide flexibility needs (biennial, TSOs).
• The planning process relies on a set of key documents and assessments, including National Energy & Climate Plans, National Resource Adequacy Assessments (NRAA), European Resource Adequacy Assessments (ERAA), Network Development Plans (NDP), and the Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP).
• Coordination of the European power system involves multiple institutional levels, including national governments (energy ministries), Transmission System Operators (TSOs), National Regulatory Authorities (NRA), ENTSO-E, ACER, and the European Commission.
