Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) In the past, electricity customers were purely passive, often buying electricity at regulated prices which had no direct relation to the market. In the future, customers need to be enabled to fully participate in the market on equal footing with other market participants and be empowered to manage their energy consumption. To integrate growing shares of renewable energy, the future electricity system should make use of all available sources of flexibility, particularly demand response and storage and of digitalisation through the integration of innovative technologies with the electricity system. To achieve effective decarbonisation at lowest cost, it also needs to encourage energy efficiency.

Recital 9
(9) The decarbonisation of the electricity sector, with renewable energy becoming a major part of the market, is a core objective of the Energy Union. As the Union moves towards the decarbonisation of the electricity sector and increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, it is crucial that the market removes existing barriers to cross-border trade and encourages investments into supporting infrastructure, for example, more flexible generation, interconnection, demand response and storage. To support this shift to variable and distributed generation, and to ensure that energy market principles are the basis for the Union's electricity markets of the future, a renewed focus on short- term markets and, scarcity pricing as well as technology neutral approach is essential.

(10) Short-term markets will improve liquidity and competition by enabling more resources to participate fully in the market, especially those that are more flexible. Effective scarcity pricing will encourage market participants to be available when the market most needs it and ensures that they can recover their costs in the wholesale market. It is therefore critical to ensure that, as far as possible, administrative and implicit price caps are removed to allow scarcity prices to increase up to the value of lost load. When fully embedded in the market structure, short-term markets and scarcity pricing will contribute to the removal of other measures, such as capacity mechanisms, to ensure security of supply. At the same time, scarcity pricing without price caps on the wholesale market should not jeopardize the possibility for reliable and stable prices for final customers, in particulaboth for households and SMEs well as industrial consumers.
Amendment 146 #

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Derogations to fundamental market principles such as balancing responsibility, market-based dispatch, or curtailment and redispatch reduce flexibility signals and act as barriers to the development of solutions such as storage, demand response or aggregation. While derogations are still necessary to avoid unnecessary administrative burden for certain actors, in particular households and SMEs, bBroad derogations covering entire technologies are not consistent with the objective of achieving market-based and efficient decarbonisation and should thus be replaced by more targeted measures.
Amendment 174 #

Recital 31
Recital 31
(31) Detailed rules for facilitating effective cross-border participation in capacity mechanisms other than reserve schemes should be laid down. Transmission system operators across the borders should facilitate interested generators wanting to participate in capacity mechanisms in other Member States. Therefore, they should calculate capacities up to which cross-border participation would be possible, enable participation and check availabilities. National regulatory authorities should enforce the cross-border rules in the Member States.
Amendment 178 #

Recital 33
Recital 33
(33) The coordination between transmission system operators at regional level has been formalised with the mandatory participation of transmission system operators in regional security coordinators, which should be complemented by an enhanced institutional framework via the establishment of regional opercoordinational centres. The creation of regional opercoordinational centres should take into accountbe based on existing regional coordination initiatives and support the increasingly integrated operation of electricity systems across the Union, ensuring their efficient and secure performance.
Amendment 180 #

Recital 34
Recital 34
(34) The geographical scope of regional opercoordinational centres should allow them to play an effective coordination role by optimising the operations of transmission system operators over larger regions. Geographically balanced representation and equitable treatment between members should be ensured.
Amendment 183 #

Recital 35
Recital 35
(35) Regional opercoordinational centres should carry out functions where their regionalisation brings added value compared to functions performed at national level. The functions of regional opercoordinational centres should cover the functions carried out by regional security coordinators as well as additional system operation, market operation and risk preparedness functionstask of regional importance. The functions carried out by regional opercoordinational centres should exclude real time operation of the electricity system.

Recital 36
Recital 36
(36) Regional opercoordinational centres should primarily act in the interest of system and market operation of the region over the interests of any single entity. Hence, rRegional opercoordinational centres should be entrusted with decision-making powers to act and to direct actions to be taken by transmission system operators of the system operation region for certain functions and with an enhanced advisory role for the remaining functionshave an enhanced advisory role.

Recital 38
(38) In order to raise efficiencies in the electricity distribution networks in the Union and ensure close cooperation with transmission system operators and ENTSO for electricity, a European entity of distribution system operators in the Union ("EU DSO entity") should be established. The tasks of the EU DSO entity should be well-defined and its working method should ensure efficiency, transparency, independence and representativeness amongst the Union distribution system operators. The EU DSO Entity should closely cooperate with ENTSO for Electricity on the preparation and implementation of the network codes where applicable, on the need for standardisation to facilitate crossborder data exchange between transmission system operators and distribution system operators, and should work on providing guidance on the integration inter alia of distributed generation and storage in distribution networks or other areas which relate to the management of distribution networks.
