(30) Where Member States decide to support publicly financed new investments (“direct price support schemes”) in low carbon, non-fossil fuel electricity generation to achieve the Union’s decarbonisation objectives, those schemes should be structured by way of two-way contracts for difference such as to include, in addition to a revor equivalent mechanisms achieving the same goals. Such two-way contracts for differenuce guarantee, an upward limitation of the market revenues of the generation assets concernedshall be allocated through a voluntary, competitive, open, transparent, non- discriminatory and cost-effective procedure, in accordance with State Aid Rules, preventing undue distortions to the efficient functioning of the electricity markets. New investments for the generation of electricity should include investments in new power generating facilities, and may also include investments aimed at repowering existing power- generating facilities, investments aime and at extending existing power -generating facilities or at prolongif the increase of power generation capacity is substantial. Market participants should be free to take part ing their lifetime tendering procedures for two-way contracts for differences or other similar arrangements.

(38a) Moreover, there is a need to enhance the regulatory framework to guarantee long-term deployment of sufficient flexible capacity. Therefore the Commission should conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current framework, focusing on its effectiveness in incentivising investments in flexible capacity necessary for reaching the Union’s climate and renewable energy targets. If appropriate, the Commission should accompany the report with a legislative proposal.

Recital 53
(53) Public interventions in price setting for the supply of electricity constitute, in principle, a market-distortive measure. Such interventions may therefore only be carried out as public service obligations and are subject to specific conditions. Under this Directive regulated prices are possible for energy poor and vulnerable households, including below costs, and, as a transition measure, for households and micro-enterprises. In times of crisis, when wholesale and retail electricity prices increase significantly, and this is having a negative impact on the wider economy, Member States should be allowed to extend, temporarily, the application of regulated prices also to SMEs. For both households and SMEs, Member States should be temporarily allowed to set regulated prices below costs as long as this does not create distortion between suppliers and suppliers are compensated for the costs of supplying below cost. However, it needs to be ensured that such price regulation is targeted and does not create incentives to increase consumption. Hence, such price regulation should be 100% for vulnerable households, while should be limited to 80% of median household consumption for the other households, and 70% of the previous year’s consumption for SMEs. The Commission should determine when such an electricity price crisis exists and consequently when this possibility becomes applicable. The Commission should also specify the validity of that determination, during which the temporary extension of regulated prices applies, which may be for up to one year. To the extent that any of the measures envisaged by the present Regulation constitute State aid, the provisions concerning such measures are without prejudice to the application of Articles 107 and 108 TFEU. Member States should refrain from implementing uncoordinated extraordinary measures, such as an inframarginal revenue cap, which already demonstrated their inefficiency in the past, especially because it has led to diverse and contrasting implementation across Member States, increasing investors’ uncertainty and jeopardising investments in renewables, and ultimately threatening security of supply and Union decarbonisation targets.

Based on the report of the regulatory authority pursuant to Article 19c(1), each Member State shall define an indicative national objective fortarget for flexibility such as demand side response, firm capacity and storage.
