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.

(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.

(7) Regulatory frameworks have developed, allowing electricity to be traded across the Union. That development has been supported by the adoption of several network codes and guidelines for the integration of the electricity markets. Those network codes and guidelines for precise and technically detailed rules with cross-border relevance contain provisions on market rules, system operation and network connection. To ensure full transparency and increase legal certainty, the main principles of market functioning and capacity allocation in the balancing, intraday, day ahead and forward market timeframes should also be adopted pursuant to the ordinary legislative procedure and incorporated in a single act.

Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) Contractual long term hedging offer already exists on the electricity European market, but such offer is practically restricted to mid-term hedging contracts, without exceeding three to four years. This reflects a market failure hindering certain operators which request a long term visibility to ensure the viability of their business model. This is particularly true for the electro-intensive industrial consumers, knowing that they are in the same time able to contribute significantly to balancing the electricity market and to managing efficiently the transportation system, notably through demand side response. Long term supply contracts offer can cope with a market failure.

Recital 15
(15) Efficient decarbonisation of the electricity system via market integration requires systematically abolishing barriers to cross-border trade to overcome market fragmentation and to allow Union energy customers to fully benefit from the advantages of integrated electricity markets and competition. It also requires to set up a complementary secure environment for capital intensive long term investment in clean energy.

Recital 15 b (new)
(15b) It is crucial to put in place an enabling framework for a just transition towards a decarbonised and flexible electricity system. A long-term and consensual framework for the progressive phase-out of carbon-intensive and inflexible generation capacity at national level will allow for a just and gradual transition for employees and regions, for power plant and mining operators and for investors.

(33) The coordination between transmission system operators at regional level has been formalised with the mandatory participation of transmission system operators in regional security coordinators, which pursuant to the multilateral agreement on regional operational security coordination. This formalised coordination between transmission system operators at regional level should be transposed to Union legislation within this Regulation. The regional security coordinators should be complemented by an enhanced institutional framework via the establishment ofir upgrade to regional opercoordinational centres. The creation of regional opercoordinational centres should take into account existing regional coordination initiatives and support the increasingly integrated operation of electricity systems across the Union, ensuring their efficient and secure performance.

(35) Regional opercoordinational centres should carry out functions where their regionalisation brings added value compared to functions performed at national level. The functions of regional operational centres should cover the functions carried out by regional security coordinators as well as additional system operation, market operation and risk preparedness functionsfunctions with regional importance. The functions carried out by regional opercoordinational centres should exclude real time operation of the electricity system.

(38) In order to raiincrease 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, digitalisation of the distribution networks including deployment of smart grids and intelligent metering systems or other areas which relate to the management of distribution networks.
