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.

Recital 15 a (new)
(15 a) Moreover, a focus should equally be laid on flexibility and energy storage solutions to support investments that allow for the stability of the grid and enable further integration of renewable energy sources; energy storage will be a crucial feature of the power grid given the volatile nature of renewable energy sources on the one hand and our need for grid stability and security of supply on the other;

Recital 27
(27) Projects of common interest should be implemented as quickly as possible and should be closely monitored and evaluated, while keeping the administrative burden for project promoters to a minimum. The Commission should nominate European coordinators for projects facing particular difficulties or delays. The progress in the implementation of the specific projects as well as the fulfilment of the obligations pertaining to this Regulation should be taken into account in the selection process for subsequent Union lists for the respective projects.

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.
Amendment 313 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 1 – point c – point ii
Article 4 – paragraph 1 – point c – point ii
(ii) is located on the territory of one Member State and has a significantpositive cross- border impacteffect or is replicable as set out in point (1) of Annex IV, whereas ‘replicable’ requires both knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer of at least two Member States or regions. The replicability of a project shall contribute to, amongst others, decarbonisation, the energy efficiency first principle, increase of the share of renewable energies or improvement of sector integration.
Amendment 363 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point b – point iii a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point b – point iii a (new)
(iii a) sector integration, through the improvement of the interaction of different energy vectors or energy sectors, for instance through the increase of synergies in adjacent sectors, such as transport and mobility;

Annex I – Part 4 – point 13 a (new)
(13 a) District Heating and Cooling:Upgrading and consolidation of district heating and district cooling networks to ensure a decarbonised supply of heat and cold and increase these sectors, as well as applying the energy efficiency first principle and sector integration through the use of waste heat and increasing flexibility for the energy system through power-to-heat. Member States concerned: all
Amendment 854 #

Annex II – paragraph 1 – point 3 – point a
Annex II – paragraph 1 – point 3 – point a
(a) transmission pipelines for the transport of hydrogen, including the repurposed natural gas infrastructure, giving access to multiple network users on a transparent and non-discriminatory basis, which mainly contains high-pressure hydrogen pipelines, excluding pipelines for the local distribution of hydrogen;
Amendment 880 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex II – paragraph 1 – point 3 – point d – paragraph 1
Annex II – paragraph 1 – point 3 – point d – paragraph 1
Any of the assets listed in points (a), (b), (c), and (d) may be newly constructed assets or assets convertrepurposed from natural gas dedicated to hydrogen, or a combination of the two. Hydrogen infrastructure as listed in points (a), (b), (c), and (d) may be used in a transitional period for the purpose of blends of hydrogen with methane or methane.
