Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) In the past, electricity customers were purely passive, often buying electricity at regulated prices which had no direct relation to the market. In the future, customers need to be enabled to fully participate in the market on equal footing with other market participants. To integrate growing shares of renewable energy, the future electricity system should make use of all available sources of flexibility, particularly demand response and storage. To achieve effective decarbonisation at lowest cost, it also needs to encourage energy efficiency as well as phasing out environmentally or economically harmful subsidies.

Article 11 – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Member States shall require transmission system operators and distribution system operators to set up and make public their standard rules relating to the bearing and sharing of costs of technical adaptations, such as grid connections and grid reinforcements, improved operation of the grid and rules on the non-discriminatory implementation of the grid codes, which are necessary in order to integrate new producers feeding electricity produced from renewable energy sources into the interconnected grid. Those rules shall be based on objective, transparent and non- discriminatory criteria taking particular account of all the costs and benefits associated with the connection of those producers to the grid and of the particular circumstances of producers located in peripheral regions and in regions of low population density. Those rules may provide for different types of connection.

2a. Self-generated electricity from generating installations using renewable energy sources by active customers, and electricity generated from installations using renewable sources by local energy communities, which is primarily intended the supply of its members, shall be entitled to elect whether to participate in market- based or non-market based mechanisms. To this effect, they shall not be required to submit of an offer for curtailment or redispatch. The decision not to participate in market-based mechanisms shall not preclude the active customer or local energy community from electing to participate in the future.

1. Charges applied by network operators for access to networks , including charges for connection to the networks, charges for use of networks, and, where applicable, charges for related network reinforcements, shall be transparent, take into account the need for network security and flexibility and reflect actual costs incurred insofar as they correspond to those of an efficient and structurally comparable network operator and are applied in a non-discriminatory manner. In particular, they shall be applied in a way which does not discriminate between production connected at the distribution level and production connected at the transmission level, either positively or negatiThey shall not be set at a level that hinders the development of production connected at the distribution levely. They shall not discriminate against energy storage and shall not create disincentives for participation in demand response or renewables self-consumption.
