General guidelines for a reinforced cooperation between electricity DSOs and TSOs
9 November 2015, Brussels – The European associations of distribution (DSO) and transmission system operators (TSO) have adopted a set of general guidelines on how to reinforce cooperation across the two categories of power networks.
