Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Asks the Commission, therefore, to submit by the end of 2010 a set of recommendations to ensure that smart metering is implemented in accordance with the timetable set out in the third energy market package and that a set of minimum functionalities for smart meters is defined in order to give consumers improved capabilities to manage their energy consumption, and to facilitate the introduction of new energy services and an innovative, harmonised and interoperable European smart grid, taking into account all proven best practices employed in some Member States, particularly as regards the management of real-time, two-directional power and information flows;
Amendment 37 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Considers that, if ICTs can help to save energy by enabling data to be continuously monitored in order to optimise public and private energy consumption and improve energy efficiency in many sectors, the ICT sector – bearing in mind the exponential growth of its own energy consumption – should set an example by undertaking to cut its consumption by a very significant margin;
Amendment 40 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Emphasises that the ITC sector’s undertaking to cut its own energy consumption should apply first and foremost to data centres;
Amendment 46 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Notes that in the building, transport, logistics, lighting, electricity, heating and ventilation and industrial sectors ICTs may be used in a variety of ways to improve energy efficiency and energy management; notes that these applications have an impact on, inter alia, electricity distribution, lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and the opportunities ICTs offer in terms of measurement, monitoring and automation;
Amendment 84 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Maintains that no time should be lost in promoting smart metering, with a view to optimising energy production and electricity grids; emphasises, in this connection, that the measurement, monitoring and automation of consumption will be part and parcel of optimised electrical network architecture, the purpose of which must be to ensure energy efficiency, on the one hand, and to incorporate renewable energy sources, energy storage management and the recharging of future electric vehicles, on the other; emphasises, however, that while smart metering systems are a crucial stage in the process, they are only the first step towards the development of smart networks;
