Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Emphasises that secure, affordable and environmentally sound energy provision is indispensable for the competitiveness of European industry; emphasises that half of the EU power plants will have to be replaced in the coming decade, therefore, that the energy supply system needs to be overhauled and the share of RES increased in a manner that is cost- efficient and without prejudice to supply security;
Amendment 469 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 29
Paragraph 29
29. Is convinced that only an EU-wide system for promoting RES will offer the most cost-effective framework in which their full potential can be realised; stresses, with a view to the differing potential in Europe for various RES technologies due to geographical conditions, the need to incentivise investment in RES where they have the biggest potential, in order to ensure an efficient use of public funding; sees decisive advantages in a technology- neutral European market for renewables, in which producers will have to cover a pre- determined quota of their energy output from RES, and in which one of the ways of reaching that quota will be through the trading of certificates on a market established for that purpose; notes the evidence of experience in the Member States that, in order to ensure quotas are met, heavy fines must be imposed for failure to meet them;
