Its tasks include the admission of Members; the appointment of the Management Board, the General Director and Business Area Directors; the establishment of working and regional groups; and the adoption of ENTSOG deliverables.
The internal ENTSOG business areas are divided into four areas: Market, System Development, System Operation and Strategy, Policy and Communication.

The management team has five support groups which provide compliance, financial and other services across the association. These are Legal, Financial, HR, IT and Research, and Administration.
