Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas research and innovation constitute a distinct dimension of the EU’s Energy Union, with energy R&D&I a key driver of the EU’s industrial leadership, global competitiveness, sustainable growth and job creation, as well as of the EU’s overall energy security, by reducing dependence on energy imports through an effective use of indigenous energy resources;
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas the EU is a global leader in high-value, low-emission energy innovation and emerging clean technologies; The EU has good terms for policy implementation in the field of research and innovations;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers that a cost-effective energy transition towards environmentally friendly, consumer-oriented and more digitalised, decentralised systems requires research and the deployment of innovation in all energy system sectors, including non- technology specific, systemic solutions as well as increasing administrative capacity and awareness of energy efficiency; recognises that this transition is fostering new organisational models, particularly in energy generation, transmission, distribution and storage, business and needs management, as well as service provision; underlines the role that large- scale pilot projects can play in deploying systemic energy innovation;
Amendment 71 #
Motion for a resolution
