Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) It is thus appropriate to establish a Union binding target of at least 2730% share of renewable energy. Member States should define their contribution to the achievement of this target as part of their Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans through the governance process set out in Regulation [Governance].

Recital 55
(55) The specific characteristics of local renewable energy communities in terms of size, ownership structure and the number of projects can hamper their competition on equal footing with large-scale players, namely competitors with larger projects or portfolios. Measures to offset those disadvantages include enabling energy communities to operate in the energy system and easing their market integration under market rules and conditions.

Amendment 400 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point a a
Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point a a
(aa) ‘"renewable self-consumer’" means an active customer as defined in Directive [MDI Directive] who consumes and may store and sell renewable electricity which is generated within his or its premises, including a multi-apartment block, a commercial or shared services site or a closed distribution system, provided that, for non-household renewable self- consumers, those activities do not constitute their primary commercial or professional activity; In all cases, self- consumption is characterised by the existence of a direct connection between the generation facility and each individual consumer, allowing an hourly measurement of self-consumed or discharged renewable production, resulting in appropriate allocation of the costs and revenues to all self-consumers. Consumers acting together shall retain the same rights and obligations as any other consumer. In particular, they will keep their right to switch supplier and the rights and obligations in relation to accurate metering and billing in order to ensure a fair allocation of network costs and their revenues as self-generators.

Article 20 – paragraph 3
Article 20 – paragraph 3
3. Subject to their assessment included in the integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance with Annex I of Regulation [Governance], on the necessity to build new infrastructure for district heating and cooling produced from renewable energy sources in order to achieve the Union target referred to in Article 3(1) of this Directive, Member States shall, where relevant, take steps with a view to developing a district heating infrastructure to accommodate the development of heating and cooling production from large biomass, solar and geothermal facilities and waste heat or cold.
