The Energy Infrastructure Forum was set up in 2015 as part of the energy union strategy, which aims to remove technical and regulatory barriers to energy flowing freely across the EU, to discuss major issues relating to infrastructure and EU energy policy.
It brings together all stakeholders with an interest in these issues, including representatives of EU countries, transmission system operators (TSOs), national energy regulatory authorities, project promoters, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG), the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and the European Investment Bank (EIB), as well as the European Parliament, European Committee of the Regions, European Economic and Social Committee, and NGOs.
The forum serves as a platform for policy-makers and stakeholders to exchange views, and aims to ensure that new EU legislation related to energy infrastructure is goal-oriented, operational and comprehensive.
