What we do

Purpose & approach

The group of fourteen TSOs in the TSC initiative responsible for providing a safe electricity supply to more than 185 million European citizens commit to improve security of electricity supply across Europe. This initiative encompasses a permanent TSO Security Panel (group of security experts) and implements a shared IT platform for exchanging data and assessing mutual security needs.

In effect, TSC helps TSOs to better manage their expanding operations, especially with respect to integrating wind energy and handling increases in cross-border trading and electricity transmission.

The TSC IT tool allows member TSOs to access key data and provides them with access to advanced methods for choosing appropriate remedial actions. These IT services can be used by TSOs for day-to-day operations in their regions, starting first with day-ahead planning processes. In a second phase, these services will be expanded to grant TSOs with nearly real-time control over their operations.

TSC strives to achieve a high level of system security in the heart of Europe. This common IT platform will be implemented in a joint project by 2010.
