Delivering a new deal for energy consumers - Tackling energy poverty as part of the Energy Union (debate) ES
Amendments (9)
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Highlights that the ongoing energy transition is resulting in a move away from a centralised, inflexible, fossil fuel-based energy system towards one which is more decentralised, flexible and renewables- basecapillary distributed across the whole territory, dynamic and scalable, future- oriented and renewables-based; this evolution is fully compatible with the conception of energy as a European Common Good;
Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Highlights that the ongoing energy transition is resulting in a move away from a centralised, inflexible, fossil fuel-based energy system to one which is more decentralised, flexible and renewables- based; points out that we nevertheless also need to reduce consumption, since otherwise this transition will not be viable;
Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Underlines that, in order to steer the energy transition, the system encompassing energy flows, the infrastructure collecting and distributing them, and the modalities for its use and consumption has to be analysed under different complementary perspectives (economic, industrial, technological, geopolitical, environmental, social, etc.); amongst them, an important perspective conceives energy as a European Common Good, which is at the service of citizens, organized as individuals, households, cooperatives or communities, in helping them to cover their collectively agreed short-term needs and to reach their long- term goals and priorities;

Amendment 64 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Believes that the new energy model should be based on a distributive system, i.e. a network should be constructed that includes thousands of production points, converting each house, block of flats, building and industrial area into a small generating plant; believes that projects should be created at local level that can produce sufficient energy to meet their needs; considers that, if production and consumption points are as close as possible to each other, this would reduce the infrastructure and transport needed for energy distribution, which would avoid losing as much electricity along the way as is currently the case;
Amendment 72 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Believes that, as a general principle, the energy transition should result in a more decentralised and democratic energy system which benefits society as a whole, increases the active involvement of citizens, households and local communities, and empowers them to own or share in the ownership of the production, distribution and storage of energy, while at the same time protecting the most vulnerable, that is to say that energy transition itself includes the conception of energy as a European Common Good, fully compatible with other perspectives;

15. Calls on the Commission to step up its support for the Covenant of Mayors and/or for cooperatives, NGOs, and other civil society organizations which are locally active, so as to expand and further develop itheir role as a tool to promote self- generation and energy efficiency measures, fight energy poverty, expand awareness of energy as an European common good, facilitate the exchange of best practices between all local authorities and organisations, regions and Member States, and ensure that all local authorities and organisations are aware of the financial support available to them;
