Amendments (16)
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D a (new)
Recital D a (new)
Da. whereas a number of Member States anticipate inadequate generation capacity which, in the near future, poses a threat of blackouts unless necessary back-up mechanisms are put in place,
Amendment 57 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas national capacity markets, if not properly designed, make it harder to integrate electricity markets and run contrary to the objectives of the common energy policy;
Amendment 95 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
Recital H
H. whereas a medium-term increase in interconnection between the Member States to 15% could improve security of supply, subject to cost-benefit analysis;
Amendment 108 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H a (new)
Recital H a (new)
Ha. whereas storage of energy is a key tool to bring more flexibility and efficiency to the energy markets, there is still no regulatory mechanism in place to take advantage of an efficient storage system;
Amendment 161 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Calls on the Member States to be more pro-actively involved in the design of a European internal market in electricity and to avoid undermining the objectives of Articles 114 and 194 TFEU by means of permanent capacity markets;
Amendment 208 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses the importance of a common analysis of system management at regional level which is facilitated by ACER and ENTSO-E and calls for the transmission system operators of neighbouring markets to devise a common methodology to that end;
Amendment 260 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Notes that network expansion 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 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; in this respect underlines that it is of crucial importance to counteract uncoordinated loop flows, especially in the CEE region;
Amendment 294 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Is sceptical of capacity mechanisms on the grounds of high cost and the risk of market distortions, and stresses that national capacity markets are subject to non-market based measures, and stresses that national capacity mechanisms should be well designed, technology neutral and developed in line withe EU rules on competition and state aid, state aid and internal energy market;
Amendment 310 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Calls for national capacity mechanisms only to be authorised where a detailed analysis of the production and supply situation at regional level has been carried out in advance and a bottleneck has been identified which cannot be eliminated by less stringent measures such as a strategic reserveto identify bottlenecks and adequacy needs;
Amendment 321 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. Stresses that upcoming reviews of Renewables Directive and Energy Efficiency Directive as well as the Energy Market Design are key initiatives to unlocking opportunities offered by energy storage;
Amendment 340 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14 a (new)
Paragraph 14 a (new)
14a. Calls therefore for a technology neutral design of the energy market to allow different renewable based energy storage solutions such as lithium-ion battery, heat pumps or hydrogen fuel cells a chance to complement RES generation capacity; calls also for the establishment of clearly defined mechanisms in order to take advantage of excess production and of curtailment;
Amendment 362 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Insists that, before a capacity market is authorised, it must be shown that all efforts have been made to reinforce the internal market and dismantle obstacles to flexibility;
Amendment 421 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Supports the EU’s goal of increasing the share of renewables to 30%27% as agreed by the Council in October 2014; notes, however, that the permanent subsidising of renewables is outdated and that renewables too must react to market signals in this new energy system, since otherwise market signals for all electricity producers will be heightened disproportionately;
Amendment 461 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
Paragraph 22
22. Warns against mixing energy supply objectives with climate policy objectives; calls for the ETS to be consistently reinforced and the market to be redesigned with a view to greater flexibility, so that in future CO2 and fuel prices can give more support to the expansion of renewabllevel playing field in the expansion of clean coal technologies;
Amendment 485 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24 a (new)
Paragraph 24 a (new)
24a. Recommends that Member States consider regulatory framework encouraging end-users to turn to self- production and local energy storage;
Amendment 514 #
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;
