Article 3 – paragraph 4
4. The Commission shall support the high ambition of Member States through an enabling framework comprising the enhanced use of Union funds, in particular financial instruments, especially in view of reducing the cost of capital for renewable energy projects.

Amendment 513 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 1
Article 4 – paragraph 1
1. Subject to State aid rules, in order to reach the Union target set in Article 3(1), Member States may apply temporarily support schemes for immature technologies. Support schemes for electricity from renewable sources shall be designed so as to avoid unnecessary distortions of electricity markets andmarkets. To further avoid that undertakings particularly affected by the financing costs of renewable energy support schemes are put at a significant competitive disadvantage it must be ensured that producers take into account the supply and demand of electricity as well as possible grid constraints and among others through measures concerning storage of electricity from renewable sources..
Amendment 534 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 2
Article 4 – paragraph 2
2. Support for electricity from renewable sources shall be technology neutral and designed so as to integrate electricity from renewable sources in the electricity market and ensure that renewable energy producers are responding to market price signals and maximise their market revenu overall cost-efficiency of the electricity supply. In order to limit market distortions, Member States shall phase out support for electricity from those renewable sources that have reached technical maturity and gradually expose them to market prices.
Amendment 566 #

Amendment 584 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 4
Article 4 – paragraph 4
4. Member States shall assess the effectiveness of their support for electricity from renewable sources at least every four years. Decisions on the continuation or prolongation of support and design of new support shall be based on the results of the assessments. Subject to state aid rules, Member States shall take appropriate measures to limit the impact of such support schemes on the competitiveness of the energy intensive industries exposed to international competition.
Amendment 628 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 2
Article 5 – paragraph 2

Member States shall ensure that support for at leastround 10% of the newly- supported capaelectricity in each year between 2021 and 2025 and at leastround 15% of the newly-supported capaelectricity in each year between 2026 and 2030 is open to installations located in other Member States. Member States benefitting from the opening of a support scheme in another Member State shall endeavour to open their own support schemes to cross- border participation.
Amendment 637 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 3
Article 5 – paragraph 3
3. Support schemes shall be technology neutral and may be opened to cross-border participation through, inter alia, opened tenders, joint tenders, opened certificate schemes or joint support schemes. The allocation of renewable electricity benefiting from support under opened tenders, joint tenders or opened certificate schemes towards Member States respective contributions shall be subject to a cooperation agreement setting out detailed rules for the cross-border disbursement of funding taking into account different taxes and fees, following the principle that energy should be counted towards the Member State funding the installation. The cooperation agreement shall aim to harmonize the administrative framework conditions in the cooperation countries to ensure a level-playing field.

Article 5 – paragraph 4
Article 5 – paragraph 4
4. The Commission shall assess by 2025 the benefits on the cost-effective deployment of renewable electricity in the Union of provisions set out in this Article. On the basis of this assessment, the Commission may propose to increasealter the percentages set out in paragraph 2.
Amendment 667 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
Article 7 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
For the purposes of paragraph 1(a), gross final consumption of electricity from renewable energy sources shall be calculated as the quantity of electricity produced in a Member State from renewable energy sources, including the production of electricity from renewable self-consumers and energy communities and excluding the production of electricity in pumped storage units from water that has previously been pumped uphill.
