Amendment 276 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29
(29) Further incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using cost- efficient techniques should be provided. To that end, the free allocation of emission allowances to stationary installations from 2026 onwards should be conditional on investments in techniques to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions. Ensuring that this is focused on larger energy users would result in a substantial reduction in burden for businesses with lower energy use, which may be owned by small and medium sized enterprises or micro- enterprises. [Reference to be confirmed with the revised EED]. The relevant delegated acts should be adjusted accordingly.deleted
