EU DSO Entity
The EU DSO Entity has been formally set up in June 2021 and aims to increase efficiencies in the electricity distribution networks in the European Union and to ensure close cooperation with Transmission System Operators and ENTSO-E. As such, the organization will take up a key role in the development and completion of the internal electricity market. It will act as a platform of cooperation between all the electricity DSOs with the overall objective of positioning itself as an expert body tackling essential matters such as developing network codes & guidelines, contributing to the digitalisation of the DSO systems and facilitating the integration of Renewable Energy Sources. The EU DSO Entity already gathers more than 900 DSOs of small, medium and large size in an active cooperation mindset.
