(1a) As expressed by the President of the European Commission Ursula van der Leyen1a, the skyrocketing electricity prices exposed the limitations of the current market design, and there is a need for a structural reform of the electricity market. The high prices of electricity depend of the expensive fossil-based (gas and coal) electricity production as it is based on an algorithm that rely on a discriminatory marginal pricing system where the actual production cost of electricity is not being taken into account. The reform should prepare the ground for other price formulation system, which should reflect the average production costs to avoid speculation and unjust windfall profit. _________________ 1a European Parliament Plenary session 08/06/202 - Conclusions of the special European Council meeting of 30-31 May 20222
Amendment 213 #
(7a) Electricity is a universal service of general economic interest and is vital to maintaining a decent standard of living to protect people’s dignity and integrity as required by Article 3 of the Charter of the Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It provides essential functions such as adequate and clean heating, hot water, cooling, lighting, cooking, and powering appliances. The Union recognises that people have a right to energy as a universal service in line with Article 36 of the Charter of the Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Principle 20 of the European Pillar of Social Rights to fully ensure realisation of the Sustainable Development Goal 7 that the Union committed itself at the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development on 25 September 2015 to implementing the resolution containing the outcome document entitled ‘Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. Therefore Member States shall guarantee planning and financing policies are needed to provide affordable and decarbonised electricity to all consumers. Therefore, electricity should be considered as common good and as such all citizens of the European Union should be entitled an affordable access as a fundamental right.
