(8) The Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy introduces an ambitious objective of 300 GW of offshore wind and 40 GW of ocean energy across all the Union’s sea basins by 2050. To ensure this step change, Member States will need to work together across borders at sea-basin level. Member States should therefore jointly define the amount of offshore renewable generation to be deployed in line with maritime spatial planning within each sea basin by 2050, with intermediate steps in 2030 and 2040. These objectives should be reflected in the updated national energy and climate plans that will be submitted in 2023 and 2024 pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. In defining the amount, Member States should take into account the offshore renewable energy potential of each sea basin, environmental protection, climate adaptation and other uses of the sea, as well as the Union’s decarbonisation targets. In addition, Member States should increasingly consider the possibility of combiningendeavour offshore renewable energy generation with transmission lines interconnecting several Member States, in the form of hybrid projects or, at a later stage, a more meshed grid. This would allow electricity to flow in different directions, thus maximising socio- economic welfare, optimising infrastructure expenditure and enabling a more sustainable usage of the sea.

(28a) While the Union’s renewable energy policy aims to contribute to achieving the Union climate goals, it also contributes to strengthening the Union’s strategic interests, namely technological sovereignty, security of supply, and protection against possible price volatility. The Union's strategic autonomy in the field of energy will ensure that Member States have the ability to guarantee a secure and affordable supply, regardless of exogenous changes such as geopolitical crises.

(30) Electromobility will play an essential role in decarbonising the transport sector. To foster the further development of electromobility in all transport modes, Member States should establish a credit mechanism enabling operators of charging points accessible to the public, where technically possible, to contribute, by supplying renewable electricity, towards the fulfilment of the obligation set up by Member States on fuel suppliers. While supporting electricity in transport through such a mechanism, it is important that Member States continue setting a high level of ambition for the decarbonisation of their liquid fuel mix in transport.

(30a) While this directive is aimed to increase the share of energy produced by renewable sources, there is also a need to recognize that at this stage low-carbon fuels are still needed for the transition towards a decarbonised transport sector, as renewable fuels and renewable electricity haven’t yet reached sufficient technological maturity in all transport modes and still need significant investments to scale up their development and production.

(32) Expressing the transport target as a greenhouse gas intensity reduction target makes it unnecessary to use multipliers to promote certain renewable energy sources except for the maritime and aviation sectors. This is because different renewable energy sources save different amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, contribute differently to a target. Renewable electricity should be considered to have zero emissions, meaning it saves 100% emissions compared to electricity produced from fossil fuels. This will create an incentive for the use of renewable electricity since renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels are unlikely to achieve such a high percentage of savings. Electrification relying on renewable energy sources would therefore become the most efficient way to decarbonise road transport. In addition, in order to promote the use of advanced biofuels and biogas and renewable fuels of non-biological origin in the aviation and maritime modes, which are difficult to electrify, it is appropriate to keep the multiplier for those fuels supplied in those modes when counted towards the specific targets set for those fuels.

7a. Member States bordering a sea basin shall cooperate to jointly define the maritime spatial planning and the amount of offshore renewable energy they plan to produce in that sea basin by 2050, with intermediate and detailed steps in 2030 and 2040. They shall take into account the specificities and development in each region, the offshore renewable potential of the sea basin and the importance of ensuring the associated integrated grid planning. Joint offshore renewable energy deployment plans shall collectively match targets of 60 GW by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050 for wind power and ocean energy. Member States shall notify that amount, as well as the detailed steps, in the updated integrated national energy and climate plans submitted pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999.;
