Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that the deployment of smart grids requires a stable, long-term policy framework; calls on the Commission to propose ambitious, binding target policies for 2030 for energy efficiency and renewable energies as well as for greenhouse gas emissions, in order to give future certainty to investors and interconnected industries and to facilitate a smart energy system;
Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Stresses that citizens must be involved in all phases of energy and grid planning, implementation and transformation, with public participation at each stage, and the active involvement of distribution service operators (DSOs) and providers of smart grid technologies; encourages citizens to become ‘prosumers’, with individuals and communities producing their own renewable energy and able to sell the surplus back to the grid, making use of net metering and thus taking advantage of the economic opportunities and acting as strong local partners engaged in sustainable energy production and energy saving within an overall regional energy concept; believes, however, that long-term design of a number of existing national RES support schemes has led to overcompensation and has often not prioritized the most effective way of applying renewable technologies for private households in various regions;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Notes that in 2009 the Commission calculated that around 2.8 million jobs would be created through the achievement of its 2020 renewable energy targets, in addition to generating a total added value of around 1.1 % of GDP by 2030; points out that the European Renewable Energy Council estimates that if 45 % of energy were to come from renewable sources in 2030, 4.4 million jobs would be created and if Europe’s energy system were 100 % renewable by 2050, the sector would employ 6.1 million people;
