Article 14 – paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. Where the injection of biogas produced from renewable sources is the appropriate solution in accordance with environmental, technical and economic criteria, and would not damage the reliability and safety of the gas network, the Member States shall ensure that gas transmission and distribution system operators guarantee within their territory the transmission and distribution of gas produced from renewable energy sources, provided such gas can be distributed technically and safely to consumers. Network connection costs shall include the link to the connection point, the pressure measurement system, pressure- increasing devises and calibrated measurement. Where necessary, the Member States may ask transmission and distribution system operators to share the abovementioned costs By 31 March 2010 at the latest, the Member States shall take the necessary measures to establish the legal framework and rules for the bearing and sharing of these costs. The Member States shall review these every two years thereafter and shall include them in their national action plans, as mentioned in Article 4. Transmission and distribution system operators shall also provide priority access to the system for gas produced from renewable energy sources if this is compatible with network management.
