Amendment 218 #
Angelika NIEBLER, Markus PIEPER, Christian EHLER
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) High electricity prices have a particularly negative impact on the competitiveness of energy-intensive sectors that operate internationally, face significant global competition, and face, thus, a risk of carbon leakage. At the same time, the European Union has to ensure affordable electricity prices for energy-intensive sectors to secure jobs in these sectors and facilitate their green transition and decarbonisation. Therefore, the European Commission is asked to introduce a mechanism guaranteeing a price ceiling for energy- intensive industries in order to compete globally. Alternatively, Member States should be allowed to apply public interventions in price setting for a limited transitional period, such as five years, until sufficient supply of renewable power capacity is available, leading to affordable electricity prices. For this purpose, energy-intensive sectors should be those listed in the Guidelines on State aid for Climate, Environmental protection and Energy.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) To ensure the efficient integration of electricity generated from variable renewable energy sources and to reduce the need for fossil-fuel based electricity generation in times when there is high demand for electricity combined with low levels of electricity generation from variable renewable energy sources, it should be possible for transmission system operators to design a peak shaving product enabling demand response to contribute to decreasing peaks of consumption in the electricity system at specific hours of the day. The peak shaving product should contribute to maximize the integration of electricity produced from renewable sources into the system by shifting the electricity consumption to moments of the day with higher renewable electricity generation. As the peak shaving product aims to reduce and shift the electricity consumption, the scope of this product should be limited to demand side response. The procurement of the peak shaving product should take place in such a way that it does not overlap with the activation of balancing products which aim at maintaining the frequency of the electricity system stable. In order to verify volumes of activated demand reduction, the transmission system operator should use a baseline reflecting the expected electricity consumption without the activation of the peak shaving product.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
(19) Consumers and suppliers need effective and efficient forward markets to cover their long-term price exposure and decrease the dependence on short-term prices. To ensure that energy customers all over the EU can fully benefit from the advantages of integrated electricity markets and competition across the Union, the functioning of the Union’s electricity forward market should be improved via the establishment of regional virtual hubs with a view to overcome the existing market fragmentation and the low liquidity experienced in many bidding zones. Regional virtual hubs should cover multiple bidding zones while ensuring an adequate price correlation. Some bidding zones may not be covered by a virtual hub in terms of contributing to the hub reference price. However, market participants from these bidding zones should still be able to hedge through a hub.deleted

Recital 40
(40) In addition, if Member States do not apply a capacity mechanism or if the additional criteria or features in the design of their capacity mechanism are insufficient to achieve national objective for demand response and storage investment needs they could apply flexibility support schemes consisting of payments for the available capacity of non-fossil flexibility such as demand side response and storage.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 40 a (new)
(40a) The energy crisis has shown the need for flexible back-up capacity mechanisms in Member States. These mechanisms will become even more important as the share of renewables in the electricity mix increases to achieve the goals of the green transition. Therefore, if an assessment of resource adequacy suggests the need to flexible back-up generation, the introduction of capacity mechanisms as a possible structural element of national markets should be facilitated.

Article 7a, paragraph 1
1. Without prejudice to Article 40(5) and 40(6) of the Electricity Directive, transmissionBy 31 December 2024, the Commission, in cooperation with ENTSO for Electricity, the EU DSO Entity and ACER, shall perform an assessment about the possibility for system operators mayto procure peak shaving products in order to achieve a reduction of electricity demand during peak hours, analysing at least, but not limited to, that their activation does not negatively affect the functioning of the electricity market, and in particular the intraday and balancing markets and over-the-counter trading. The assessment shall take into consideration specific national developments at and consider the possibility of procuring these products under normal circumstances and during an electricity price crisis situation, declared in accordance with Article 66a.

Article 7a, paragraph 2
2. Transmission system operators seeking to procure a peak shaving product shall submit a proposal setting out the dimensioning and conditions for the procurement of the peak shaving product to the regulatory authority of the Member State concerned. The proposal of the transmission system operator shall comply with the following requirements: (a) the dimensioning of the peak shaving product shall be based on an analysis of the need for an additional service to ensure security of supply. The analysis shall take into account a reliability standard or objective and transparent grid stability criteria approved by the regulatory authority.

Member States shall ensure that instruments such as guarantee schemes at market prices,, in a coordinated way and where appropriate with the support of the European Investment Bank (‘EIB’), may put in place instruments to reduce the financial risks associated to off- taker payment default in the framework of PPAs are in place andnd make them accessible to customers that face entry barriers to the PPA market and are not in financial difficulty in line with Articles 107 and 108 TFEU. Such instruments may include guarantee schemes at market prices. For this purpose, Member States shall take into account Union-level instruments and tools such as standardised template contracts, to be developed jointly with the EIB. Member States shall determine what categories of customers are targeted by these instruments, applying non- discriminatory criteria, and considering at least, but not limited to, SMEs, households, including via aggregators, renewable energy communities and suppliers with no generation assets. As the market evolves and the PPA uptake increases, the use of instruments such as guarantee schemes at market prices shall be reassessed.
