INTERRFACE helps connect the dots between all parties across the entire electricity value chain through the design of an Interoperable pan-European Grid Services Architecture (IEGSA). Acting as an interface between transmission and distribution network operators, it introduces standardised ways of market operation, service design and procurement - states the recent article on the website of European Commission's project database, Cordis.

The article examines INTERRFACE under a microscope, looking into the four core functions of the IEGSA platform - the flexibility register, the TSO-DSO coordination unit, the Single Market Interface and the Settlement Unit and discusses the additional value it could bring to the European energy transition.
