Amendment 176 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 11 – paragraph 4
4. Generating installations using variable renewable energy sources or high- efficiency cogeneration which have been commissioned prior to [OP: entry into force] and have, when commissioned, been subject to priority dispatch under Article 15(5) of Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council or Article 16(2) of Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council35 shall remain subject to priority dispatch. Priority dispatch shall no longer be applicable from the date where the generating installation is subject to significant modifications, which shall be the case at least where a new connection agreement is required or the generation capacity is increased. _________________ 35 Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 16).

Amendment 191 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 12 – paragraph 4 – point a
(a) guarantee the capability of transmission and distribution networks to transmit electricity produced from renewable energy sources or high- efficiency cogeneration with minimum possible curtailment or redispatching. That shall not prevent network planning by distribution system operators from taking into account limited curtailment or redispatching where this is shown to beit can objectively demonstrate that it is more economically efficient and does not exceed 5 % of installed capacities using renewable energy sources or high- efficiency cogeneration in their areaat the connection point. Such a decision should be jointly reached by the distribution system operator and the generator;

Amendment 220 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 12 – paragraph 6 – point b
(b) 9100 % of the net revenues from the sale of electricity on the day-ahead market that the generating or demand facility would have generated without the curtailment or redispatching request. Where financial support is granted to generating or demand facilities based on the electricity volume generated or consumed, lost financial support shall be deemed part of the net revenues.

Amendment 235 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 16 – paragraph 1
1. Charges applied by network operators for access to networks , including charges for connection to the networks, charges for use of networks, and, where applicable, charges for related network reinforcements, shall be transparent, take into account the need for network security and flexibility and reflect actual costs incurred insofar as they correspond to those of an efficient and structurally comparable network operator and are applied in a non-discriminatory manner. In particular, they shall be applied in a way which does not discriminate between production connected at the distribution level and production connected at the transmission level, either positively or negatively. They shall not discriminate against energy storage and aggregation and shall not create disincentives for self- generation, self-consumption, and for participation in demand response. Without prejudice to paragraph 3, those charges shall not be distance- related.

7. Distribution tariffs shall reflect the cost ofand benefits related to the use of the distribution network by system users including active customers, and may be differentiated based on system users' consumption or generation profiles. Where Member States have implemented the deployment of smart metering systems, regulatory authorities may introduce time differentiated network tariffs, reflecting the use of the network, in a transparent and foreseeable way for the consumer.
