Recital 13
(13) The application of the ‘do no significant harm’ principle is essential to ensure that the investments and reforms undertaken as part of the recovery from the pandemic are implemented in a sustainable manner and advance the green transition of the European Union. It should continue to apply to the reforms and investments supported by the Facility, with one targeted and timely exemption to safeguard the EU’ immediate energy security concerns. Considering the objective of diversifying energy supplies away from Russian suppliers, the reforms and investments set out in those REPowerEU chapters which aim to improve energy infrastructure and facilities to meet immediate security of supply needs for oil and gas and are completed by 31 December 2025 should not be required to comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ and should therefore be exempted from such assessment. To ensure that such an exemption does not jeopardise the integrity of the European Union’s 2030 and 2050 climate targets, the Commission should also include an assessment of the climate and environmental impacts of this time-limited derogation and measures how to compensate them in its annual reports. In addition, this derogation should only be applicable to 25% of the total estimated cost of the REPowerEU chapter of each plan.

(13b) Energy efficiency and renewable energies are the only solution to green our energy use. Therefore, it is imperative that all Member States take this chance and divert their investments under this Regulation in the achievement of their medium and long-term climate and energy targets. Therefore, Member States should only be able to receive revenues for their REPowerEU chapters under the condition that they have implemented the increased targets for EED and RED as proposed by the Commission under Directive (EU) 2022/222 (RePowerEU).
