9 Amendments of Adam GIEREK related to 2012/2259(INI)
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the Member States are currently acting independently in the promotion of RES, within administrative frameworks that differ widely, and that their potential for developing renewables is uneven on account of natural factors that dictate their renewable energy potential, and that these divergences call for support to be provided through different mechanisms;
Amendment 127 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Notes that levels of public and political acceptance of renewable energy differ and that the availability of public and private financing to promote RES varies widely; considers it essential to create maps showing the distribution of renewable energy potential within the Member States and throughout the entire EU in order to facilitate the proper allocation of this funding;
Amendment 144 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Is concerned that, so far, only some of the renewables on the energy market are economically competitive, although certain other technologies are closing the gap with market prices; agrees with the Commission that all available means must be used to bring the costs down and make RES economically competitive as an additional source of electricity for homes and as a means of generating electricity for the grid;
Amendment 154 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Feels that, in the area of conventional energy, it would be better to make use of biomass, including biomass from communal waste;
Amendment 192 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that those who will benefit most from completion of the internal energy market are the consumers; supports the Commission’s view that competition needs to extend to renewables as well as other energy sources because it is the best stimulus to advances in innovation and price reductions; is nonetheless concerned that the vital marketisation of energy production from renewable energy sources could lead to more wide-scale energy poverty;
Amendment 267 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Notes that the development of RES on a major scale, with their remote and weather-dependent feed-in, can cause uncoordinated cross-border energy flows (loop flows) that could cause serious emergencies in other Member States – making load reduction increasingly necessary in the interests of supply security – if it does not go hand-in-hand with the requisite development of the grid in those Member States; is concerned about the state of developmentrepair of grid infrastructure in the Member States, which is insufficient for the effective management of the flow and supply of electricity;
Amendment 285 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Underscores the need for electricity storage solutions to facilitate the integration of RES into the energy supply; re-emphasises the urgent need for further research into electricity storage, including on the basis of cooperation with pumped-storage hydroelectric plants;
Amendment 296 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Is convinced that ICT will in future play a more important role in the management of energy provision and in the management of RES; calls on the Commission to bring forward without delay proposals for the development, promotion and standardisation of smart grids and meters; emphasises that important factors in this regard include not only planning certainty on the providers’ side but also acceptance on the part of consumers, as well as data protection;
Amendment 314 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. EmphasisHopes that the further development of RES will entail permanent landscape change in Europe; points outnot result in ecological damage, including in Natura 2000 sites, and will not permanently change protected landscape areas; points out, therefore, that the only way to win public acceptance of RES is through transparent planning, construction and licensing procedures, in which all the stakeholders are involved;
