Amendment 189 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Emphasises that a greater attention should be paid to energy usage in order to achieve the decarbonisation of the energy landscape; therefore stresses the need to give higher priority to demand-side management so as to ensure the deployment of technologies and systems to end-users, while also achieving the energy transition at a affordable and sustainable cost for the society as a whole;
Amendment 274 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Highlights the new challenges, such as the need for flexible resources in the power system (e.g. flexible generation, storage, demand management), that will arise as the contribution of variable renewable generation increases, and emphasises the importance of infrastructure at distribution level and the important role that proactive consumers and distribution system operators (DSOs) play during the integration into the system of decentralised energy products and demand-side efficiency measures; stresses the need to have sufficient capacity available to ensure security of electricity supply; stresses, in this regard, that policy developments in Member States should not create new barriers to electricity- or gas- market integration; points out that granting higher priority to demand-side management and demand-side energy generation would considerably strengthen the integration of decentralised energy sources and would advance the achievement of overall energy policy objectives;
Amendment 347 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Recognises the key role of gas, both in the transition to a low-carbon energy system and as a flexible back-up, together with energy storage and demand-response technologies, and in balancing capacity where renewable energy supplies are variable;
Amendment 484 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 32
Paragraph 32
32. Believes that, while energy bills in Europe have risen in recent years, this development has given rise to a ‘'smart’', common sense-based approach to energy efficiency and energy savings; believes, regardless, that the role of ICT technologies is increasingly important for energy; highlights, in this context, the role of smart meters in providing consumers with data on energy consumption in households and businesses; underlines that consumers should become active stakeholders in energy efficiency by effectively monitoring and controlling their energy consumption;
Amendment 492 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 32 a (new)
Paragraph 32 a (new)
32a. Believes that energy infrastructure should become more end-user-oriented, with a stronger focus on the interactions between distribution system capacities and consumption; emphasises the need for real-time, two-directional power and information flows; and points out the benefits of new technologies for consumers, such as demand-side energy management and demand-response systems, that improve energy efficiency of supply and demand;
