Amendment 254 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Notes that energy efficiency has the most important role to play and that increasing network expansion in particular is indispensable with a view to completing the internal market in electricity with a growing share of renewables; regrets that there are still large gaps in the interconnections between Member States, leading to network bottlenecks and significantly impairing cross-border energy trading; calls for the electricity interconnection objectives to be differentiated by region and aligned with the ENTSO-E ten-year network plan;
Amendment 273 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Notes that rapid network expansion and the removal of structural network bottlenecks are also essential if uniform price zimportant conditiones are to be retained, and that the splitting of bidding zones could be a sensible market economy approach to reflect actual electricity shortages in certain regions; takes the view that in closely integrated electricity networks the allocation of price zones should be decided together with all neighbours concernedfor realising the internal market in energy; takes the view that a configuration of price zones should be decided solely within the framework of the 'Bidding Zone Review' as part of ENTSO-E with the participation of all the relevant stakeholders in order to prevent both the inefficient use of networks and the reduction of cross-border capacities, which is incompatible with the internal market; views a common European price zone as the objective;
