(6) A well-integrated market which builds on the Clean Energy for all Europeans Package adopted in 2018 and 201926 should allow the Union to reap the economic benefits of a single energy market in normal market circumstances, ensuring security of supply and sustaining the decarbonisation process. Cross-border interconnectivity also ensures safer, more reliable and efficient operation of the power system. To this end, the Commission should consider how to improve monitoring and enforcement of the 2019 Electricity Market Regulations, including the obligation to make 70% of interconnector capacity available for cross-border trade. Furthermore, the Commission should consider to increase the 70% obligation, and limit possible derogations, to make the electricity market fit for an energy system primarily based on renewable energy, which merits a need for better interconnection to sustain a high security of supply. _________________ 26 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1; Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (recast), OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82; Directive (EU) 2018/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 amending Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency, OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 210; Regulation (EU) 2019/942 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 establishing a European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (recast), OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 22; Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity (recast), OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 54; Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on common rules for the internal market for electricity (recast), OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 125.

(14a) Member States should design their bidding zones to reflect the physical reality of the transmission grid. This is important as the electricity demand of the EU is expected to double en route to climate neutrality. Moreover, if green hydrogen is to develop into industrial scale, the need for well-designed bidding zones increases further. If green hydrogen production is placed nearby renewable energy facilities, it could ease the pressure on transmission grids. Conversely, if operators place green hydrogen production nearby consumption centres, which they are incentivized to do, if bidding zones do not reflect the physical reality, it could double the pressure on transmissions grids.

(17) In order to be able to actively participate in the electricity markets and to provide their flexibility, consumers are progressively equipped with smart metering systems. ~~However, i~~Consumers shall also have the right to receive a dedicated metering device so that they can engage with their flexible loads in demand response, independently from being already equipped with a smart metering system. In a number of Member States the roll-out of smart metering systems is still slow. In those instances where smart metering systems are not yet installed and in instances where smart metering systems do not provide for the sufficient level of data granularity, transmission and distribution system operators should be able to use data from dedicated metering devices for the observability and settlement of flexibility services such as demand response and energy storage. Enabling the use of data from dedicated metering devices for observability and settlement should facilitate the active participation of the consumers in the market and the development of their demand response. The use of data from these dedicated metering devices should be accompanied by quality requirements relating to the data.

(26) To reach the Union’s decarbonisation targets and the objectives set out in REPowerEU to become more energy independent, the Union needs to accelerate the deployment of renewables at a much faster pace. In view of the investment needs required to achieve these goals, the market should ensure that a long- term price signal is established. The benefit of renewables and flexibility from consumers can be harvested only to the extent the grid deployment keeps up with more anticipatory and least regret investments. All obstacles to the necessary and efficient growth of the infrastructure that might be existing in the national regulatory regimes today must be abolished.

(27) In this framework, Member States should strive to create the right market conditions for long-term market-based instruments, such as power purchase agreements (‘PPAs’). PPAs are bilateral purchase agreements between producers and buyers of electricity. They provide long-term price stability for the customer and the necessary certainty for the producer to take the investment decision. Nevertheless, only a handful of Member States have active PPA markets and buyers are typically limited to large companies, not least because PPAs face a set of barriers, in particular the difficulty to cover the risk of payment default from the buyer in these long-term agreements. Member States should take into consideration the need to create a dynamic PPA market when setting the policies to achieve the energy decarbonisation objectives set out in their integrated national energy and climate plans. Regulatory unpredictability, instability and retroactivity would undermine the ability of PPAs to contribute to the clean energy transition and energy independence.

(28) According to Article 15(8) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Member States are to assess the regulatory and administrative barriers to long-term renewables PPAs, and shall remove unjustified barriers to, and promote the uptake of, such agreements. In addition, Member States are to describe policies and measures facilitating the uptake of renewables PPAs in their integrated national energy and climate plans. Without prejudice to that obligation to report on the regulatory context affecting the PPA market, Member States ~~should~~may ensure that instruments to reduce the financial risks associated to the buyer defaulting on its long-term payment obligations in the framework of PPAs are accessible to companies that face entry barriers to the PPA market and are not in financial difficulty in line with Articles 107 and 108 TFEU. Member States could decide to set up a guarantee scheme at market prices. Alternatively, Member States may put in place such instruments to make hedging products in the forward market accessible to customers that face entry barriers to the forward market. Member States should include provisions to avoid lowering the liquidity in the electricity markets, in particular the forward market, such as by using financial PPAs. Member States should not provide support to PPAs that purchase generation from fossil fuels. While the default approach should be non- discrimination between consumers, Member States could decide to target these instruments to specific categories of consumers, applying objective and non- discriminatory criteria. In this framework, Member States should take into account the potential role of instruments provided at Union level, for instance by the European Investment Bank (‘EIB’).

(35) Furthermore, Member States should ensure that the direct price support schemes, irrespective of their form, do not undermine the efficient, competitive and liquid functioning of the electricity markets, preserving the incentives of producers to react to market signals, including stop generating when electricity prices are below their operational costs, and of final customers to reduce consumption when electricity prices are high. Member States should ensure that support schemes do not hamper forward market liquidity and retail competition, as well as constitute a barrier for the development of commercial contracts such as PPAs.

(44) Consumers should have access to a wide range of offers so that they can choose a contract according to their needs. However, suppliers have reduced their offers, fixed-price contracts have become scarce, and the choice of offers has become limited. Consumers should always have the possibility to opt for a~~n afford~~ reasonable fixed price and fixed term contract to ensure a stable price over a given period and suppliers should not unilaterally modify the terms and conditions before such contract expires.

(46) Consumers should be able to choose the supplier which offers them the price and service which best suits their needs. Advances in metering and sub- metering technology combined with information and communication technology mean that it is now technically possible to have multiple suppliers for a single premises. Consumers should be entitled to request additional meters for this purpose, while bearing the associated costs for their installation or, where applicable, upgrade, under fair, reasonable and cost-effective conditions. If they so wish, customers should be able to use these possibilities to choose a separate supplier notably for electricity to power appliances such as heat pumps or electric vehicles which have a particularly high consumption or which also have the capability to shift their electricity consumption automatically in response to price signals. Moreover, with fast- responding dedicated metering devices which are attached to or embedded in appliances with flexible, controllable loads, final customers can participate in other incentive-based demand response schemes that provide flexibility services on the electricity market and to transmission and distribution system operators. Overall, such arrangements should contribute to the increased uptake of demand response and to consumer empowerment allowing them to have more control over their energy use and bills, while providing to the electricity system additional flexibility in order to cope with demand and supply fluctuations.
