Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
G. whereas national duties,lack of interconnectors, as well as fixed prices, subsidies, and feed-in priorities and lack of interconnectors, while being necessary due to market failures, prevent a functioning internal market in electricity and thus delay the full market integration of largely CO2- free energy sources;

Amendment 138 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
2. Calls for the existing regulatory framework of the European markets to be adjusted to allow for a growing share of renewable energy sources (e.g. by providing back-up mechanisms); stresses that a new market design for electricity must promote sustainable and efficient electricity supply;

Amendment 209 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses the importance of a common analysis of system management at regional level which is facilitated by ACER and ENTSO-E and calls for the transmission system operators of neighbouring markets to devise a common methodology to that end;

Amendment 223 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
8. Stresses the right of Member States to determine the conditions for the use of their energy resources, the national energy mix and the overall structure of their energy supply; Calls on the Commission to take appropriate steps in the market regulatory framework to encourage investments in all available forms of low carbon electricity, both mature and innovative technologies;

Amendment 244 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 a (new)

Amendment 253 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
10. Notes that network expansion in particular is indispensable with a view to completing the internal market in electricity with a growing share of renewables; regrets that there are still large gaps in the interconnections between Member States, leading to network bottlenecks and significantly impairing cross-border energy trading; calls for the electricity interconnection objectives to be differentiated by region and aligned with the ENTSO-E ten-year network plan. To this effect, it is also of significant importance to counteract the uncoordinated loop flows, especially in the CEE region;

Amendment 284 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
12. Is sceptical of capacity mechanisms on the grounds of high cost and the risk of market distortions, and stresses that national capacity markets are subject to the EU rules on competition and state aid which guarantees the sufficient level of the EU Internal Energy Market protection;

Amendment 315 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
13. Calls for national capacity mechanisms only to be authorised where a detailed analysis of the production and supply situation at regional level has been carried out in advance and a bottleneck has been identified which cannot be eliminated by less stringent measures such as a strategic reserve;

Amendment 372 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
17. Stresses that price volatility has a signal and guidance function in the electricity market and can beis an important factor in the efficiency of theincentivizing the uptake of flexibility solutions (such as flexible generation, demand side response, interconnectors and storage capacity, including LNG terminals) and therefore ensuring a well-functioning electricity market;

Amendment 396 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
18. Notes that the expectation of future price surges can create incentives for producers and investors to invest in production capacity, particularly in high- efficiency modern gas-fired power stations, urges politicians not to intervene in the market even in the event of large price surges and calls, in the medium term, for the complete abolition of regulated final consumer prices;

Amendment 418 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
19. Supports the EU’s goal of increasing the share of renewables to 3027%; notes, however, that the permanent subsidising of renewables is outdated and that renewables too must react to market signals in this new energy system, since otherwise market signals for all electricity producers will be heightened disproportionately; notes furthermore the danger of reduced industrial competitiveness and carbon leakage that arises from incorrectly designed subsidy systems;

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 441 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
20. Notes that the Member States must meet specific quantitative objectives for the share of renewables in energy consumption, irrespective of the market situation, and therefore stresses the importance of promoting renewables in a wayharmonised way through policies such as tradable green certificates that focuses on competition and cost efficiency; therefore regards the promotion of investment as more compatible with the market than feed-in priorities and fixed prices;

Amendment 509 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
26. Takes the view that, for a medium- term transitional period, national responsibility for the energy mix cannot be questioned and therefore that both nuclear power, which is largely CO2-neutral, and the use of national energy reserves together with high-efficiency gas-fired power stations and coal-fired electricity generation using the latest technology, can make vital contributions to the integration of renewables;
