Paragraph 24
24. Believes that the move towards a better energy efficiency should include a focus onfocus on effective conversion of primary energy use, including transformation, transmission, distribution and supply, along side industrial and household consumpenergy obtained from coal, and its efficient use, transmission and distribution;
Amendment 244 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 27
Paragraph 27
27. Supports a multi-level governance and decentralised approach to the energy policeconomy and energy efficiency, including the Smart Cities initiative, whereby heating and cooling processes would be based on co-generation;

Paragraph 28
28. Asks the Commission to present a communication on how to increase economic efficiency in the deploymentuse of renewable sources of energy within the EU by striving towards a system of EU-wide common incentives for renewable sources of energy, which would allow to deploy the specific type of renewables in those parts of the EU, where they are most cost- efficient, and, thereby, lower electricity prices; believes that in the midterm, where no alternative sources exist or there are supply problems for other sources, as in the case of islands, regional renewables market groups could be created;
