A European strategy for offshore renewable energy (debate)
Amendments (8)
Amendment 23 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas the transition to a net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) economy requires a clean energy transition that ensures sustainability, security of supply and affordability of energy, issues that must be resolved at Member State level, since energy policy is a national competence;
Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas the dramatic fall in renewable offshore energy prices has made it one of the cheapest sources of energy and does consequently a critical element in the green transition, paving the way for a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, and has also made it one of the most important pillars of the EU’s climate ambinot need any subsidies or other politically motivated market interventions;
Amendment 73 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Stresses that a net-zero emissions economy requires renewablenon-fossil energy to be deployed on an unprecedented scale; emphasises that if no further actions are taken to accelerate the deployment of offshore renewable energy (ORE), the EU will not be able to live up to its climate commitments;
Amendment 87 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Highlights that the energy production targets for ORE in all of EU’s sea basins, as outlined in Commission communication COM(2020)0741, are at least 60 GW by 2030 and 340 GW by 2050; highlights that the competitiveness of offshore wind energy as an energy source will continue to increase and prices will continue to fall further in step with continuous development and deployment, suggesting that this sector can survive without government interference;
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses the urgency ofneed to improvinge and expanding existing infrastructure to enable the increased flow of electricity from offshore sites to inland-based consumers, investments that the ORE sector can finance without interference from EU institutions;
Amendment 154 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that electricity from offshore renewables can contribute to the greening of district heating, decreasing and eventually eliminating its GHG emissions; highlights the potential to incorporate ORE in district heating through clean electricity and heat pumpsis neither a cost efficient nor practical technology for the greening of district heating;
Amendment 259 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15 a. Stresses furthermore that electricity generated by ORE is mostly irregular and weather dependent, therefore its uptake by the electricity grid must be handled in the respective regional context and the quantities of ORE must accordingly be adapted to local constraints;
