(20) The Union-wide ten-year network development plan process as basis for the identification of projects of common interest in the categories of electricity and gas has proven to be effective. However, while the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity and for Gas (ENTSOs) and transmission system operators have an important role to play in the process, mtransparent, inclusive and science-based future infrastructure and integrated network planning, with the guidance of public bodies and the participation of stakeholders and scientific bodies is needed in order to guarantee the adoption of future-proof methodologies and scenarios contributing to achieve the 2030 climate objectives, the 2040 offshore energy development objectives and in line with the target of climate neutrality as soon as possible and by 2050 at the latest. More scrutiny is required, in particular as regards defining the scenarios for the future, identifying long-term infrastructure gaps and bottlenecks and assessing individual projects, to enhance trust in the process. Therefore, due to the need for independent validation, temocratic public planning, associating producers, workers and their trade unions, scientists and non- governmental organisations (NGOs) is required, notably, through the creation of a newly independent public body, the Committee for the Planning of Energy Infrastructure (CPEI). The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (‘the Agency’) and the Commission should have an increased role in the process, including in the process for of drawing up the Union-wide ten-year network development plan pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council31 and Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 . The Agency should conduct a consultation process involving the Commission, Member States and the CPEI. The Agency should also operationalise the principle of ‘energy efficiency first’ and ensure that scenarios are leading to the climate neutrality target. The CPEI should validate the TYNDP. _________________ 31Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity (OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 54). 32Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1775/2005 (OJ L 211, 14.8.2009, p. 36).

(25) Regional groups should be established for the purpose of proposing and reviewing projects of common interest, leading to the establishment of regional lists of projects of common interest. In order to ensure broad consensus, those regional groups should ensure close cooperation between Member States, national regulatory authorities, project promoters and relevant stakeholderthe CPEI, including at least independent experts, electricity, efficiency, storage, flexibility and renewable stakeholders, local authorities, trade unions and NGOs. In the context of that cooperation, national regulatory authorities should, where necessary, advise the regional groups, inter alia on the feasibility of the regulatory aspects of proposed projects and on the feasibility of the proposed timetable for regulatory approval, compliance with sustainability criteria, climate targets, whilst avoiding lock-in effects and stranded assets and on the feasibility of the proposed timetable for regulatory approval. The composition, the activity and decisions of regionals groups should be accessible to public.

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 16 a (new)
(16 a) ‘Committee for the Planning of Energy Infrastructure’ or ‘CPEI’ means an independent body to be established pursuant to Article 11a of this Regulation to draw up the Ten Year Network Development Plan and its underpinning methodology, long-term scenarios, as well as the infrastructure gap identification and the system wide-cost benefit analysis, to contribute to the drafting of regional PCI lists through its representatives and to provide an opinion on the draft Union PCI list.

Article 11 a (new)
Article 11 a (new)
Article 11 a Committe for the Planning of Energy Infrastructure By 1 March 2022, the Commission shall establish the Committee for the Planning of Energy Infrastructure. The CPEI shall be composed of independent experts, including from academia and representatives of at least: the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO) for Electricity, the EU DSO entity, electromobility and electricity storage operators, electricity market participants, electricity customers, independent aggregators, demand- response operators, electricity producers (all of those as defined in Directive2019/944), organisations involved in hydrogen production, transmission, distribution, storage and consumption, organisations involved in generation, operation, transmission, distribution and consumption of heat and cool, consumers of heat and cool, organisations involved in energy efficiency solutions and building renovation, local authorities, trade unions and civil society organisations. Representation shall be balanced and participants shall have equal rights in decision making.

Article 12 a (new)
Article 12 a (new)
Article 12 a Long-term scenarios 1. After having conducted an extensive consultation process involving the Commission and the organisations representing all relevant stakeholders, and following a transparent, comprehensive, precise, science-based methodology, the CPEI shall develop broad long-term scenarios in line with the Union climate neutrality target for the planning horizon up until 2050. 2. The long- term scenarios shall take as a starting point the revised Union 2030 climate and energy targets and set out the path for infrastructure scenarios necessary to achieve the climate neutrality objective as soon as possible in line with the need to limit global temperature increase to 1,5°C, also taking into account the latest available Commission scenarios. They shall be based on the Member States’ energy efficiency and renewable energy potential, and interlink with their National Energy and Climate Plans, as well as the offshore grid planning according to Article 14 of this Regulation. They shall ensure the end of unsustainable resource exploitation, lock-in effects and stranded assets. 3. The scenarios shall set binding network development milestones and intermediate steps to be achieved every 5 years in a cycle aligned to the UNFCCC ratchet-up mechanism. 4. The long-term scenarios shall be drafted and updated in coherence with the Ten-Year-Network-Development-Plan as described in Article 12. They shall be published with the corresponding input and output data in a sufficiently accurate form, allowing for transparency while taking due account of applicable legal requirements, including on confidentiality.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 13 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
Article 13 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
When assessing the infrastructure gaps the ENTSO for ElectCPEI shall implement the princity and the ENTSO for Gas shall implement the energy efficiency first principle and consider with priority all relevant non-infrastructure related solutions to address the identified gapple of ‘energy efficiency first’, assess all relevant non-infrastructure related solutions (i.e. but not limited to demand-side management, market arrangement solutions, implementation of digital solutions, renovation of buildings) to address the identified gaps and recommend their implementation as a priority solution whenever they are more cost-efficient on a system-wide perspective than the construction of new supply-side infrastructure. In the report, special attention shall begiven to those infrastructure gaps potentially affecting the fulfilment of the Union’s medium and long-term climate targets.
