Amendment 142 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) The Commission’s communication on energy system integration underlines the need for integrated energy infrastructure planning across energy carriers, infrastructures, and consumption sectors. Such system integration starts from the point of departure of applying the energy efficiency first principle and taking a holistic approach in policy and beyond individual sectors. It also addresses the decarbonisation needs of the hard to abate sectors, such as parts of industry or certain modes of transport, where direct electrification is, currently, technically or economically challenging. Such investments include hydrogen and electrolysers, which are progressing towards commercial large-scale deployment. The Commission’s Hydrogen Strategy gives priority to hydrogen production from renewable electricity, which is the cleanest solution and is most compatible with the EU climate neutrality objective. In a transitional phase however, other forms of low-carbon hydrogen are needed to more rapidly replace existing hydrogen and kick-start an economy of scale.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33
(33) In order to simplify and expedite the permitting process for offshore grids for renewable energy, the Member States around a particular sea basin should endevour to harmonise the relevant legislation and procedures and create one unique points of contact, referred to as an ‘offshore one-stop shop’, in view of regional specificities and geography, for the for facilitating, integrating and coordinating the process of granting of permits toall permit granting procedures of such projects. Moreover, the establishment of a one-stop shop per sea basin for offshore grids for renewable energy should reduce complexity, increase efficiency and speed up the permitting process of offshore transmission assets often crossing many jurisdictions. It shall issue comprehensive decisions for these projects on behalf of the relevant national Member States in a coordinated, collaborative or integrated manner.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 40 a (new)
(40 a) The needs of an integrated energy market will go beyond a physical cross- border footprint of infrastructure projects in order to contribute to the TEN-E pillars, such as sustainability or security of supply. There will be an equal a need for cross-border and local projects that will have a positive effect on the Union's power grid, such as electrolysers, district heating and cooling networks or storage infrastructure of a certain capacity and ability to be replicable in more than one Member State.

4. Within six months of the date on 4. which the last investment request is received by the relevant national regulatory authorities, those national regulatory authorities shall, after consulting the project promoters concerned, take joint coordinated decisions on the allocation of efficiently incurred investment costs to be borne by each system operator for the project, as well as their inclusion in tariffs. The national regulatory authorities shall include all the efficiently incurred investment costs in tariffs in line with the allocation of investment costs to be borne by each system operator for the project or on the rejection of the investment request or of part of the project if the common analysis of national regulatory authorities concludes that the project or a part of it fails to provide a significant net benefit at Union level. The national regulatory authorities shall include the reafter assess, where appropriate, whether any affordability issues might arise due to the incluslevant efficiently incurred investment costs in tariffs inline with the allocation of the investment costs in tariffsto be borne by each systemoperator for the project.
