Article 11 – paragraph 2 – introductory part
2. When dispatching electricity generating installations, transmission system operators shall give priority to generating installations using renewable energy sources or high-efficiency cogeneration from small generating installations or, high-efficiency cogeneration from small generating installations and generating installations using emerging renewable energy technologies. By December 31, 2023 and every 2 years thereafter, the Commission shall assess the extent to which market distortions, such as subsidies or implementation of capacity mechanisms favoring inflexible generation installations powered by fossil fuels or nuclear, have been phased out by each Member State, as well as the extent of access by installations using renewable energy sources and high-efficiency cogeneration to forward, balancing, day- ahead and intraday markets. Until the Commission determines that as a result of the implementation of measures contained in this regulation that removal of priority dispatch would not result in discrimination or negative impacts on the deployment of installations using renewable sources, the Member States concerned shall continue to provide priority dispatch for such installations. Without prejudice to the Commission’s determination, transmission system operators shall continue to give priority to generating installations using renewable energy sources, high-efficiency cogeneration from small generating installations, generating installations using emerging renewable energy technologies to the following extent:

In particular, they shall be applied in a way which does not negatively 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 shall not create disincentives for participation in demand response or renewables self-consumption. Without prejudice to paragraph 3, those charges shall not be distance- related.

Article 18 a Rules of the capacity mechanism 1. Member States shall assess whether a capacity mechanism in the form of strategic reserve can address the adequacy concerns. Where this is not the case, Member States may implement a different type of mechanism. Such mechanisms shall not create unnecessary market distortions or inhibit cross-border trade. They shall be open to all generation technologies, storage, energy efficiency and demand-side response. The amount of capacity committed in the mechanism shall not go beyond what is necessary to address the concern. The parameters determining the amount of capacity procured in the capacity mechanism shall be approved by the national regulatory authority. 2. Where a Member State applies a capacity mechanism, it shall review that mechanism before [two years after the date of entry into force of this Regulation] and provide that no new contracts are concluded under that mechanism where:(a) the European resource adequacy assessment has not identified a resource adequacy concern; and/or(b) the measures referred to in paragraph 3 have not been sufficiently implemented. 3. Capacity mechanisms shall be temporary. They shall be approved by the Commission for no longer than four years. They shall be phased out or at least phased down, based on the implementation plan pursuant to Article 18(3). Generation capacity shall be eligible to participate in a capacity mechanism only if: (a) its total greenhouse gas emissions per kilowatt hour of electricity produced in the installation do not exceed 350gof CO2 equivalent from [OP:date of entry into force of this Regulation];and (b) it is capable of ramping up and down on-load at least at the level 5% of their capacity per minute. 4.
