Recital 62
(62) The European Strategy for a low- carbon mobility of July 2016 pointed out that food-based biofuels have a limited role in decarbonising the transport sector and should be gradually phased out and replaced by. In order to support the uptake of advanced biofuels. T and to prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels and minimise the overall indirect land-use change impacts, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of biofuels and bioliquids produced from food and feed crops that can be counted towards the Union target set out in this Directivestore investors' confidence in the mid to long term, the amount of sustainable crop-based biofuels that can be counted towards the Union target for the transport sector should not exceed 7% of the final consumption of energy, for the period 2021-2030.

Recital 2
(2) Promoting renewable forms of energy is one of the goals of the Union energy policy. The increased use of energy from renewable sources, together with energy savings and increased energy efficiency, constitutes an important part of the package of measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the Union 2030 energy and climate framework, including the binding target to cut emissions in the Union by at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. It also has an important part to play in promoting the security of energy supply, technological development and innovation and providing opportunities for employment and regional development, especially in rural and isolated areas or, in regions with low population density and in areas undergoing partial deindustrialisation.

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 is 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. Policy measures adopted by the European Union and the Member States in support of bioenergy production, and especially of energy from solid biomass, should always take into due account the principle of resource efficiency and of optimized use of biomass and should be as non-distortive as possible to the functioning of the biomass supply market.
Amendment 169 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Electricity generation from renewable sources should 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 the integration costs such that grid and system development needs, the balancing costs, the impact on market value of non-programmability of variable renewables, the resulting energy mix, and the long term potential of technologies.
Amendment 171 #

Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) Without prejudice to adaptations of support schemes to bring them in line with State aid rules, renewables support policies should be stable and avoid frequent or retroactive changes. Such changes have a direct impact on capital financing costs, the costs of project development and therefore on the overall cost of deploying renewables in the Union. Member States should prevent the revision of any support granted to renewable energy projects from having a negative impact on their economic viability. In this context, Member States should promote cost-effective support policies and ensure their financial sustainability for consumers.

(44) It is appropriate to allow the consumer market for renewable electricity from renewable energy sourceand gases injected into grids to contribute to the development of energy from renewable sources. Member States should therefore require electricitnergy suppliers who disclose their energy mix to final customers in accordance with Article X of Directive [Market Design], or who market energy to consumers with a reference to the consumption of energy from renewable sources, to use guarantees of origin from installations producing energy from renewable sources.

Recital 45
Recital 45
(45) It is important to provide information on how the supported electricity is allocated to final customers. In order to improve the quality of that information to consumers, Member States should ensure that guarantees of origin are issued for all units of renewable energy produced. In addition, with a view to avoiding double compensation, renewable energy producers already receiving financial support should not receive guarantees of origin. However, those guarantees of origin should be used for disclosure so that final consumers can receive clear, reliable and adequate evidence on the renewable origin of the relevant units of energy. Moreover, for electricity that received support, the guarantees of origin should be auctioned to the market and the revenues should be used to reduce public subsidies for renewable energy.

(45) It is important to provide information on how the supported electricity isrenewable energy sources injected into electricity and gas grids are allocated to final customers. In order to improve the quality of that information to consumers, Member States shouldall ensure that guarantees of origin are issued for all units of renewable energy produced and injected into both electricity and gas grid. In addition, with a view to avoiding double compensation, renewable energy producers already receiving financial support should not receive guarantees of origin. However, those guarantees of origin should be used for disclosure so that final consumers can receive clear, reliable and adequate evidence on the renewable origin of the relevant units of energy.

(47) Guarantees of origin, which are currently in place for renewable electricity and renewable heating and cooling, should be extended to cover renewable gas. This would provide a consistent means of proving to final customers the origin of renewable gases such as biomethane and would facilitate greater cross-border trade in such gases. It would also enable the creation of guarantees of origin for other renewable gases such as hydrogen and bio- syngas.

Recital 48
(48) There is a need to support the integration of energy from renewable sources into the transmission and distribution grid and the use of energy storage systems for integrated variable production of energy from renewable sources, in particular as regards the rules regulating dispatch and access to the grid. Directive [Electricity Market Design] lays down the framework for the integration of electricity from renewable energy sources. However, this framework does not include provisions on the integration of gas from renewable energy sources into the gas gridtransport, distribution and storage infrastructures. It is therefore necessary to keep them in this Directive.

Article 19 – paragraph 3
3. For the purposes of paragraph 1, guarantees of origin for renewable electricity shall be valid with respect to the calendar year in which the energy unit is produced. Six months after the end of each calendar year, Member States shall ensure that all guarantees of origin from the previous calendar year that have not been cancelled shall expire. Expired guarantees of origin shall be included by Member States in the calculation of the residual energy mix. As biomethane can be easily stored, for the purpose of paragraph 1, guarantees of origin issued with respect to any unit of biomethane injected into the gas grid shall be valid for five calendar years starting from the calendar year in which the energy unit is produced. Six months after the end of the last valid calendar year, Member States shall ensure that all guarantees of origin from the previous five calendar years that have not been cancelled shall expire. Expired guarantees of origin shall be included by Member States in the calculation of the residual energy mix.

Accounting of ambient energy from heat pumps The amount of aerothermal, geothermal or hydrothermal energy captured by heat pumps to be considered energy from renewable sources for the purposes of this Directive, ERES, shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: ERES = Qusable * (1 – 1/SPF)– PE where - Qusable = the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps fulfilling the criteria referred to in Article 7 (4),; - PE = the estimated average seasonal primary energy consumption for those heat pumps implemented as follows: Oonly heat pumps for which SPF > 1,15 * 1/η shall be taken into account,: PER =OR: Qusable / PE = SPF / fp > k shall be taken into account. Where: - PER = the estimated average seasonal primary energy ratio; - SPF = the estimated average seasonal performance factor for those heat pumps,; - η isfp = the ratio between total gross production of electricity and the primary energy consumption for electricity production and shall be calculated as an EU average based on Eurostat datatotal primary energy factor of the different energy carriers of the different systems defined as follow: fp = PE / FE where FE is the estimated average seasonal final energy consumption for those heat pumps. By XX-XX-XXXX, the Commission shall establish a value for the coefficient k as well as guidelines on how Member States are to estimate the values of Qusable, SPF and fp for the different heat pump technologies and applications, taking into consideration differences in climatic conditions, especially very cold climates.
