Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) The electricity sector in the Union is undergoing a profound transformation, characterised by more decentralised markets with more players, better interlinked systems and a higher proportion of renewable energy. In response, Directive xxx/ Regulation xxx [Reference to the proposed Electricity Directive and Electricity Regulation] aim to upgrade the legal framework governing the Union's internal electricity market, so as to ensure that markets and networks function in an optimal manner, to the benefit of businesses and consumers. This Regulation is also intended to contribute to the implementation of the objectives of the Energy Union, which rests on solidarity, a principle enshrined in Article 194 TFEU.

Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Ultimately, to prevent electricity crises, energy efficiency measures and further development of renewable energy sources are of fundamental importance. The transition towards a more sustainable and efficient energy system and greater reliance on local renewable energy producers are the most effective ways to reduce the Union's electricity import dependence, thereby providing a long- term and sustainable improvement of Member States' resilience to a supply crisis.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) To facilitate prevention, information exchange and ex-post evaluation of electricity crises, Member States should designate one competent authority as a contact point. This may be an existing or new entity, but not a for-profit organisation, including a transmission system operator.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) To ensure the coherence of risk assessments that builds trust between Member States in a crisis situation a common approach to identifying risk scenarios is needed. Therefore, ENTSO-E should develop, after consulting stakeholders, a common methodology for risk identification in cooperation with the Agency, with ENTSO-E proposing the methodology and the Agency approving it.
2017/09/14
Committee: ITRE
Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) On the basis of this common methodology, ENTSO-Eregional operational centres should regularly draw up and update regional crisis scenarios, to be adopted by ENSTO-E, and identify the most relevant risks for each region such as extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, fuel shortages or malicious attacks. When considering the crisis scenario of gas fuel shortage, the risk of gas supply disruption should be assessed based on the gas supply and infrastructure disruption scenarios developed by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas pursuant to Article 6.6 of the Gas Security of Supply Regulation [proposed Gas Security of Supply Regulation]. Member States should establish and update their national crisis scenarios on this basis, in principle every three years. The scenarios should provide the basis for the risk- preparedness plans. When identifying risks on national level the Member States should also describe possible risks they see in relation to the ownership of infrastructure relevant for security of supply, and possible measures taken, if any, to address such risks (such as general or sector- specific investment screening laws, special rights for certain shareholders, etc.), with an indication why in their view such measures are justified.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14) A regional approach to identifying risk scenarios and developing preventive and mitigating measures should bring significant benefits in terms of the effectiveness of measures and optimal use of resources. Moreover, in a simultaneous electricity crisis, a coordinated and pre- agreed approach will ensure a consistent response and reduce the risk of negative spill-over effects that purely national measures could have in neighbouring Member States. This Regulation therefore requires Member States to cooperate in a regional context. This Regulations also refers to macro-regional partnerships that should be engaged in order to provide political support, advice and guidance with regard to decisions that may have an impact on broader regions. Regional cooperation should gradually be complemented with a stronger Union perspective, allowing recourse to all available supplies and tools in the entire internal electricity market.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) The [proposed Electricity Regulation] prescribes the use of a common methodology for the medium to long-term European resource adequacy assessment (from 10 year-ahead to year ahead), with a view to ensuring that Member States' decisions as to possible investment needs are made on a transparent and commonly agreed basis. This assessment has a different purpose than the short-term adequacy assessments which are used to detect possible adequacy related problems in short time-frames, namely seasonal outlooks (six months ahead) and week-ahead to intraday adequacy assessments. Regarding short-term assessments, there is a need for a common approach to the way possible adequacy- related problems are detected. The ENTSO-E isregional operational centres are to issue winter and summer outlooks to alert Member States and transmission system operators to security of supply related risks that might occur in the following six months. To improve these outlooks, they should be based on a common probabilistic methodology proposed by ENTSO-E and approved by the Agency. In order to reinforce the regional approach to assessing risks, ENTSO-E should be able to delegate tasks related to seasonal outlooks to regional operational centres.

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) The Agency should issue the EU- wide guidelines for the solutions on how to prevent and handle crises situations. These guidelines shall define market and non-market measures as well as the principles of compensation schemes and principles for identifying protected customers.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18
(18) To ensure a common approach to crisis prevention and management, the competent authority of each Member State should draw up a risk-preparedness plan, after consulting stakeholders and taking full account of the guidelines for solutions, developed by the Agency. The plans should describe effective, proportionate and non-discriminatory measures addressing all identified crisis scenarios. Plans should provide transparency especially as regards the conditions in which non-market measures can be taken to mitigate crisis situations. All envisaged non-market measures should comply with the rules set out in this Regulation.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
(19) Plans should consist of two parts, setting out national measures and regional measures agreed between the Member States in the region with regional operational centres acting as the co- ordinating body. Regional measures are necessary especially in the event of a simultaneous crisis, when a coordinated and pre-agreed approach will ensure a consistent response and reduce the risk of negative spill-over effects. Plans should take account of the specific characteristics of the Member State and set out clearly the roles and responsibilities of the competent authorities. National measures should take full account of the regional measures agreed and take full advantage of the opportunities provided by regional cooperation. The plans should be technical and operational in nature, their function being to help prevent the occurrence or escalation of an electricity crisis and to mitigate its effects.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
(22) Information exchange in the event of a crisis situation is essential in order to ensure coordinated action and targeted assistance. Therefore, this Regulation obliges Member States to inform neighbouring Member States of the region as well as macro- region, and the Commission without delay when confronted with an electricity crisis. They should also provide information on the causes of the crisis, measures taken and planned to mitigate the crisis and the possible need for assistance from other Member States. Where this assistance goes beyond electricity security of supply, the Union Civil Protection Mechanism shall remain the applicable legislative framework.

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) It is important to facilitate communication and awareness between Member States, whenever they have specific, serious and reliable information that an event may occur that is likely to result in a significant deterioration of the electricity supply. In such circumstances the Member States should inform the Commission, regional operational centres and the Electricity Coordination Group without delay, providing, in particular, information on the causes of the deterioration, the planned measures to prevent an electricity crisis and the possible need for assistance from other Member States.
2017/09/14
Committee: ITRE
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
(24) In the event of an electricity crisis Member States should assist each other in a spirit of solidarity and ensure that electricity is delivered where it is most needed. This cooperation should be based on pre-agreed measures set out in the risk- preparedness plans. When agreeing on cooperation, Member States should take account of social and economic factors, including citizens' security, and proportionality. They are encouraged to share best practice and use the Electricity Coordination Group as a discussion platform to identify available options for cooperation and solidarity arrangements, including compensation mechanisms, developed on the basis of the Agency’s guidelines. The Commission may facilitate the preparation of the regionally coordinated measures in the concerned region.

Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25 a (new)
(25a) Certain customers, including households and customers providing essential social services are particularly vulnerable and may need protection against the negative effects of disruption of electricity supply. A definition of such protected customers should be harmonised across the Union and include households as well as certain essential social services, including healthcare, essential social care, emergency and security.

Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28
(28) In 2012, the Electricity Coordination Group was created as a forum to exchange information and foster co-operation across Member States, in particular in the area of security of supply.29 Through this Regulation, its role is reinforced. It should carry out specific tasks, notably in connection with the preparation of the risk-preparedness plans, and will have a prominent role in monitoring Member States' performance in the area of the security of electricity supply, and developing best practice on this basis. The composition of the Electricity Coordination Group should be revisited to include new stakeholders such as industry, EU DSO and consumer organisations, therefore, the Commission should take the appropriate measures in order to ensure that. _________________ 29 Commission Decision of 15 November 2012 setting up the Electricity Coordination Group (2012/C 353/02), OJ C 353, 17.11.2012, p. 2.
