(11) To ensure that the overall targets are achieved, Member States should work towards an indicative trajectory tracing a path towards the achievement of their targets, and should establish a national action plan including sectoral targets, while having in mind that there are different uses of biomass and therefore it is essential to mobilise new biomass resources. Member States should consider the use of existing energy-efficient conventional energy equipment in the heating and cooling sector combined with the gradual introduction of renewable energy sources, via thermal solar energy and bioliquids.

Article 14 – paragraph 1
1. Member States shall take the necessary steps to develop the grid infrastructure and the electricity system in order to allow the secure operation of the electricity system to accommodate the further development of electricity production from renewable energy sources, including interconnectors between Member States.

Article 14 – paragraph 2
Article 14 – paragraph 2
2. Without prejudice to the maintenance of the reliability and safety of the grid, Member States shall ensure that transmission system operators and distribution system operators in their territory guarantee the transmission and distribution of electricity produced from renewable energy sources. They shallmay also provide for priority accessconnection to the grid system of electricity produced from renewable energy sources. When dispatching electricity generating installations, transmission system operators shall give priorMember States may decide that transmission system operators shall give dispatch priority with market based balance responsibility to generating installations using renewable energy sources insofar as the security of the national electricity system permits.
