Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Emphasises that renewable energy is a key driver of decarbonisation; recalls that at least 32 % of the EU’s total energy needs should be met by renewable energy by 2030there are two carbon-neutral power-generating technologies that result in decarbonisation of the electricity system -- nuclear and renewable energy; recalls that according to the current climate framework at least 32 % of the EU’s total energy needs should be met by renewable energy by 2030; believes that the EU should abandon this target and let Member States decide on their energy mix according to their own energy resources and needs which differ from country to country because of, among other things, geography;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Highlights that an increase in offshore wind energy production is not essential for the clean energy transition; stresses that, as offshore wind capacity currently stands at just 25 GW, the building of offshore wind farms must be accelerated so as to provide up to 450 GW of capacity by 2050as there are viable other options such as nuclear energy;
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that the decision to find space for up to 450 GW of offshore wind energy capacity is of the utmost importancwhile nuclear requires a tiny bit of land to provide a whole lot of power at a low cost, wind requires a whole lot of land to provide a tiny bit of power at a high cost; stresses that when searching for space for offshore wind energy capacity impacts on the fishery sector and/or the environment should be taken into account; reminds that it should not be forgotten that potential European offshore areas also have a biological and economic value;

Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Points out that that when analysing the cost of offshore wind energy, all relevant costs should be taken into account, including the transmission and distribution costs and the costs of backup systems;
Amendment 62 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 b (new)
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5b. Reminds that the cost of offshore wind will increase, as the reservoir of plots that are easy to build on depletes;
