Amendments (15)
Amendment 34 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas the integration of the electricity markets and the sphere of multilateral cooperation must also respect the right of the Member States to determine the national energy mix and the overall structure of their energy supply;
Amendment 117 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the Commission communication on the transformation of the energy market and endorses the view that the transformed electricity market should enhance regional cooperation on security of energy supply and should focus on more market, the enhanced integration of renewable sources of energy and less regulation;
Amendment 135 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Calls for the existing regulatory framework of the European markets to be adjusted to allow for a growing share of renewable energy sources and to close existing cross-border regulatory gaps; stresses that a new market design for electricity must promote sustainable and efficient electricity supply;
Amendment 180 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Takes the view that it makes sense to step up cooperation between regions under the leadership of ACER with greater responsibility, transparency and non- discrimination, though without the Member States abandoning responsibility for security of supply;
Amendment 191 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Believes that a European internal market in electricity is possible on the basis of stronger price incentives; is aware, however, of the risks of unpredictable price surges and calls for meaningful pilot projects to be carried out before introducing prices thaclear guidelines on how to deal with these risks, without preflect the actual scarcity of suppliventing price surges;
Amendment 213 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses the importance of a common analysis of system management at regional level and calls for the transmission system operators of neighbouring markets to devise a common methodology to that endfor enhanced multilateral cooperation;
Amendment 268 #
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 zones are to be rimportant conditions for achieving the internal marketa ined, and that the splitting of bidding energy; takes the view that changes in price zones cshould 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 concerneddecided 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; stresses that an arbitrary splitting of functioning, liquid price zones is incompatible with the objectives of an integrated energy market; calls for the retention of existing, functioning price zones up to the completion and impact assessment of ongoing work on the network code within the framework of the CACM Regulation;
Amendment 314 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Calls for national capacity mechanisms only to be authorised where a detailed analysis of the production and supply situation at regional level has been carried out in advance and a bottleneck has been identified which cannot be eliminated by less stringent measures such as a strategic reserve;
Amendment 333 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Insists that natregional capacity markets and capacity markets authorised by European regulatory agencies should be open to cross-border participation and should only create the capacity strictly necessary for security of supply;
Amendment 391 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Notes that the expectation of future price surges can create incentives for producers and investors to invest in production capacity, particularly in high- efficiency modern gas-fired and pumped- storage power stations, urges politicians not to intervene in the market even in the event of large price surges and calls, in the medium term, for the complete abolition of regulated final consumer prices;
Amendment 518 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Takes the view that, for a medium-term transitional period, national responsibility for the energy mix cannot be questioned and therefore that both nuclearhydroelectric power, which is largely CO2-neutral, and the use of national energy reserves together with high- efficiency gas-fired power stations and coal-fired electricity generation using the latest technology, can make vital contributions to the integration of renewables;
Amendment 539 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28
Paragraph 28
28. Stresses that renewables should in most cases be fed in at distribution systems level, and therefore calls for distribution system operators to have a greater role overall and to be more closely involved in the European regulatory bodies; calls for cooperation between distribution system operators and transmission system operators to be enhanced by means of more efficient regulatory conditions;
Amendment 562 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30
Paragraph 30
30. Regards distribution system operators and transmission system operators as neutral market pioneers receiving data from various sources, which they can then make available in a non-discriminatory manner to authorised third parties with the consent of the consumer;
Amendment 565 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30 a (new)
Paragraph 30 a (new)
30a. Calls for a technically and economically watertight definition of ‘systemically relevant baseload capacity’ and for this capacity to be available to the electricity system in order to guarantee system security; notes that the general availability of such capacities must be considered in a regional context;
Amendment 566 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30 b (new)
Paragraph 30 b (new)
30b. Stresses the need to speed up permit issuing for energy infrastructure projects at all decision-making levels;
