Towards a new energy market design - EU strategy on heating and cooling (debate) DE
Amendments (17)
Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas the Commission’s planned transformation ofs with regard to the electricity market must lead to real market transformation and contribute to efficiency and security of supply;
Amendment 80 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
Recital G
G. whereas national duties, high taxation costs, fixed prices, subsidies, feed-in priorities and lack of interconnectors prevent a functioning internal market in electricity and thus delay the full market integration of largely CO2- free energy sources;
Amendment 112 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the Commission communication on the transformation of the energy market and endorses the view that the transformed electricity market and thorough implementation of existing legislation should enhance regional cooperation on security of energy supply and should focus on more market and less regulation;
Amendment 145 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Believes that the best way towards integrated EU-wide electricity market is to strategically determine the necessary level of integration which should be achieved, restore confidence among the market players and especially ensure proper implementation of existing legislation;
Amendment 179 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Takes the view that it makes sense to step up cooperation between regions under the leadership of ACER, particularly as regards evaluating cross-border impacts, though without the Member States abandoning responsibility for security of supply; advocates more far-reaching transparency provisions concerning ACER activities;
Amendment 181 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Believes that a European internal market in electricity is possible on the basis of stronger price incentives; is aware, however, of the risks of unpredictable price surges and calls for meaningful pilot projects to be carried out before introducing prices that reflect the actual scarcity of supplies;
Amendment 216 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses the importance of a common analysis of system management at regional level and calls for the transmission system operators of neighbouring markets to devise a commonordinated methodology to that end;
Amendment 239 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Supports the closer linkage of differing priorities in the national energy mix, such as wind energy with nuclear or with water reservoirwater reservoirs or other clean and flexible energy sources;
Amendment 261 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Notes that network expansionefficient use of interconnections as well as national networks and their further expansion and development in particular is indispensable with a view to completing the internal market in electricity with a growing share of renewables; regrets that there are still large gaps in the interconnections between Member States, leading to network bottlenecks and significantly impairing operational security and cross-border energy trading; calls for the electricity interconnection objectives to be differentiated by region and aligned with the ENTSO-E ten-year network plan;
Amendment 273 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Notes that rapid network expansion and the removal of structural network bottlenecks are also essential if uniform price zimportant conditiones are to be retained, and that the splitting of bidding zones could be a sensible market economy approach to reflect actual electricity shortages in certain regions; takes the view that in closely integrated electricity networks the allocation of price zones should be decided together with all neighbours concernedfor realising the internal market in energy; takes the view that a configuration of price zones should be decided solely within the framework of the 'Bidding Zone Review' as part of ENTSO-E with the participation of all the relevant stakeholders in order to prevent both the inefficient use of networks and the reduction of cross-border capacities, which is incompatible with the internal market; views a common European price zone as the objective;
Amendment 304 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Calls for national capacity mechanisms only to be authorised as a last resort, where a detailed adequacy analysis of the production and supply situation at regional level has been carried out in advance and a bottleneckmade public and a bottleneck, given by specific geographical and network conditions, has been identified and which cannot be eliminated by less stringent measures such as a strategic reserve or covered by already existing sources;
Amendment 339 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14 a (new)
Paragraph 14 a (new)
14a. Stresses the need to promote the deployment of energy storage systems and to create a level playing field on which energy storage can compete with other flexibility options, based on technology- neutral design of the energy market;
Amendment 405 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18 a (new)
Paragraph 18 a (new)
18a. Stresses in this respect that for properly functioning energy-only-market the EU has to ensure a ban on all price caps for wholesale and retail market and invite the governments to allow scarcity pricing at the energy market;
Amendment 412 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18 c (new)
Paragraph 18 c (new)
18c. Stresses that unlocking demand response is also crucial for ensuring the proper functioning of the new energy market, as inflexible demand nullify the intended effects of scarcity pricing; notes that, therefore, retail prices should be deregulated and linked to wholesale prices, and that allowing the entry of aggregators into the market and the participation of demand in balancing markets would optimise the potential of demand to provide enhanced flexibility;
Amendment 476 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23
Paragraph 23
23. Calls for operators of renewable power plants to be held strictly responsible for balancing within their areas as that could create a level playing field and stresses that, in the event of departure from the schedule announced by the operator, an appropriate compensatory energy price should be charged;
Amendment 508 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Takes the view that, for a medium-term transitional period, national responsibility for the energy mix cannot be questioned and therefore that both nuclear power, which is largely CO2-neutral, and the use of national energy reserves together with high-efficiency gas- fired power stations and coal-fired electricity generation using the latest technology, can make vital contributions to the integration of renewables;
Amendment 542 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 29
Paragraph 29
29. Calls for measures to facilitate necessary investments in distribution systems which are not yet prepared for taking in growing quantities of renewables generation or for digitalisation; in this connection, data collection and distribution must be accorded a greater role and data protection must be secured; calls for ensuring cost efficiency of these necessary investments in distribution systems;
