10 Amendments of Nicola CAPUTO related to 2016/0379(COD)
Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a regulation
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 and to drive investments on the long term.

Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) More market integration and the change towards a more distributed and volatile electricity production requires increased efforts to coordinate national energy policies with neighbours and to use the opportunities of cross-border electricity trade.
Amendment 71 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The precondition for effective competition in the internal market in electricity is non-discriminatory and, transparent and adequate charges for network use including interconnecting lines in the transmission system. The available capacity of those lines should be set at the maximum levels consistent with the safety standards of secure network operation.
Amendment 74 #

Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) To efficiently steer necessary investments, prices also need to provide signals where electricity is most needed. In a zonal electricity system, correct locational signals require a coherent, objective and reliable determination of bidding zones via a transparent process. In order to ensure efficient operation and planning of the Union electricity network and to provide effective price signals for new generation capacity, demand response, energy storage or transmission infrastructure, bidding zones should reflect structural congestion. In particular, cross- zonal capacity should not be reduced in order to resolve internal congestion.
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 31
Recital 31
(31) Detailed rules for facilitating effective cross-border participation in capacity mechanisms other than reserve schemstrategic reserves should be laid down. Transmission system operators across the borders should facilitate interested generators wanting to participate in capacity mechanisms in other Member States. Therefore, they should calculate capacities up to which cross-border participation would be possible, enable participation and check availabilities. National regulatory authorities should enforce the cross-border rules in the Member States.

Recital 32
Recital 32
(32) In view of differences in national energy systems and technical limitations of existing electricity networks, the best and the most cost-effective approach to achieving progress in market integration will often be at a regional level. Regional cooperation of transmission system operators should thus be strengthened. In order to ensure efficient cooperation, a new regulatory framework should foresee stronger regional governance and regulatory oversight, including by strengthening the decision- making power of the Agency for cross- border issues. Closer cooperation of Member States could be needed also in crisis situations, to increase security of supply and limit market distortions.
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 38
Recital 38
(38) In order to raise efficiencies in the electricity distribution networks in the Union and ensure close cooperation with transmission system operators and ENTSO for electricity, a European entity of distribution system operators in the Union ("EU DSO entity") should be established. The tasks of the EU DSO entity should be well-defined and its working method should ensure independence, neutrality, efficiency, transparency and representativeness amongst the Union distribution system operators. The EU DSO Entity should closely cooperate with ENTSO for Electricity on the preparation and implementation of the network codes where applicable and should work on providing guidance on the integration inter alia of distributed generation and storage in distribution networks or other areas which relate to the management of distribution networks.
Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point a
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point a
(a) setting the basis for an efficient achievement of the objectives of the European Energy Union and in particular the climate and energy framework for 203030 by enabling market signals to be delivered for increased efficiency, flexibility, decarbonisation and innovation; _________________ 30 COM/2014/015 final.
Amendment 96 #

Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point u
Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point u
(u) 'capacity mechanism' means an administrative measure to ensure the achievement of the desirednecessary level of security of supply by remunerating resources for their availability not including measures relating to ancillary services;
