Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Stresses that citizens must be involved in all phases of energy and grid planning, implementation and transformation, with public participation at each stage, and the active involvement of distribution service operators (DSOs) and providers of smart grid technologies; encourages rapid deployment of advanced metering infrastructure that provides two-way flow of information and enables citizens to become ‘prosumers’, with individuals and communities producing their own renewable energy and able to sell the surplus back to the grid, making use of net metering and thus taking advantage of the economic opportunities and acting as strong local partners engaged in sustainable energy production and energy saving within an overall regional energy concept;
Amendment 47 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Emphasises that the success of a smart energy system, as shown by studies on best practices and leading examples, is often due to local ownership by individual citizens, a cooperative, a local community or a combination of these actors; recognises that such ownerships increase the acceptance of investments in all elements of smart energy systems; advocatemphasizes that citizens must be provided with better information, as well as incentives such as dynamic pricing mechanisms and appropriate ICT tools so that they could be involved at all stages of development of a smart energy system;
Amendment 51 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Underlines that smart energy systems will be operated with large amounts of personal data and many profiles and will bear a high risk of data security breaches; notes concerns specifically in relation to cyber security of smart grid systems and the consumer benefits of smart meters and calls for greater evaluation of this area and further research into data protection and data privacy of smart meters; stresses, therefore, that personal data has to be protected, without exceptions, so that it remains protected and secure, and that cyber security has to be integrated into smart grid deployment strategies;
Amendment 62 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 27
Paragraph 27
27. Emphasises that interoperability for smart infrastructure is crucial, as regulatory uncertainty and different standards slow down the spread of smart infrastructure; therefore calls for greater cooperation between the different European technical standards organisations; highlights that open standards are needed to help interoperability and to accelerate technology development and deployment;
