Recital 6 a (new)
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) Renewable energy should be considered a European common good that serves citizens, households and communities; both the Union and the Member States should therefore put in place a regulatory framework and specific measures on renewable sources to that effect.

Recital 11 a (new)
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) The costs of projects which are carried out by a state on the territory of another state should be borne entirely by the state which benefits from those actions, including the costs arising from strengthening grids, energy transmission to the consumption site, energy storage and back-ups, along with the expenses arising from any grid congestion.

Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Support schemes for electricity generated from renewable sources have proved to be an effective way of fostering deployment of renewable electricity. If and when Member States decide to implement support schemes, such support should be provided in a form that isintended to help, primarily, renewable self-consumers and renewable energy communities and to address energy poverty among low- income households. That form should be as non-distortive as possible for the functioning of electricity markets. To this end, an increasing number of Member States allocate support in a form where support is granted in addition to market revenues.

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Electricity generation from renewable sources shouldmust be deployed at the lowest possible cost for consumers and taxpayers. When designing support schemes and when allocating support, Member States should seek to minimise the overall system cost of deployment, taking full account of grid and system development needs, the resulting energy mix, and the long term potential of technologies.
Amendment 105 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) The opening of support schemes to cross-border participation limits negative impacts on the internal energy market and can, under certain conditions, help Member States achieve the Union target more cost- efficiently. Cross-border participation is also the natural corollary to the development of the Union renewables policy, with a Union-level bindingMember States' indicative targets replacing national binding targets. It is therefore appropriate to require Member States to progressively and partially open support to projects located in other Member States, and define several ways in which such progressive opening may be implemented, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, including Articles 30, 34 and 110.
Amendment 111 #
(20b) To reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU and its dependency on energy imports, the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency increases should be closely linked.
Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 20 a (new)
Recital 20 a (new)
(20a) In view of the high greenhouse gas emission-saving potential shown by the use of agricultural material such as manure and other animal and organic waste to produce biogas, that practice offers significant environmental advantages with regard to heat and power production and use of the biogas as biofuel. Biogas installations can, as a result of their decentralised nature and the regional investment structure, contribute significantly to sustainable development in rural areas and offer farmers new income opportunities.
Amendment 279 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 1
Article 4 – paragraph 1
(1) Subject to State aid rules, in order to reach the Union target set in Article 3(1), Member States may apply support schemes. Support schemes for electricity from renewable sources shall be designed so asto help renewable self-consumers and renewable energy communities, to address energy poverty among low-income households and to avoid unnecessary distortions of electricity markets and ensure that producers take into account the supply and demand of electricity as well as possible grid constraints.
Amendment 283 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 2
Article 4 – paragraph 2
(2) Support for electricity from renewable sources shallould be designed so asto help renewable self-consumers, renewable energy communities, to address energy poverty among low-income households and to integrate electricity from renewable sources in the electricity market and. That approach ensures that renewable energy producers are responding to market price signals and maximises their market revenues.
Amendment 359 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 21 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 – point a
Article 21 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 – point a
(a) are entitled to carry out self- consumption and sell, including through power purchase agreements, their excess production of renewable electricity without being subject to taxation, to disproportionate administrative procedures and charges that are not cost- reflective;
Amendment 366 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 23 – paragraph 1
Article 23 – paragraph 1
(1) In order to facilitate the penetration of renewable energy in the heating and cooling sector, each Member State shall endeavour to increase the share of renewable energy supplied for heating and cooling by at least 1 percentage point (pp) every year, expressed in terms of national share of final energy consumption and calculated according to the methodology set out in Article 7.
Amendment 488 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. With effect from 1 January 2021, Member States shall require fuel suppliers to ensure that the share of energy from renewable sources in petrol is at least 6.5 % of the final consumption of energy in petrol in transport in that Member State.
