Recital 5
(5) In the past, electricity customers were purely passive, often buying electricity at regulated prices which had no direct relation to the market. In the future, customers need to be enabled to fully participate in the market on equal footing with other market participants and be empowered to manage their energy consumption. To integrate growing shares of renewable energy, the future electricity system should make use of all available sources of flexibility, particularly demand response and storage and of digitalisation through the integration of innovative technologies with the electricity system. To achieve effective decarbonisation at lowest cost, it also needs to encourage energy efficiency.

(36) Regional operational centres should primarily act in the interest of system and market operation of the region over the interests of any single entity. Hence, regional operational centres should be entrusted with decision-making powers to act and to direct actions to be taken by transmission system operators of the system operation region for certain functions and with an enhanced advisory role for the remaining functions. Regional operational centres should ensure that decision-making processes are based on equitable treatment, geographical balance and inclusiveness, in order to ensure the representation of all transmission systems of the region.

Recital 38
(38) In order to raise efficiencies in the electricity distribution networks in the Union and ensure close cooperation with transmission system operators and ENTSO for electricity, a European entity of distribution system operators in the Union ("EU DSO entity") should be established. The tasks of the EU DSO entity should be well-defined and its working method should ensure efficiency, transparency, independence and representativeness amongst the Union distribution system operators. The EU DSO Entity should closely cooperate with ENTSO for Electricity on the preparation and implementation of the network codes where applicable, on the need for standardisation to facilitate crossborder data exchange between transmission system operators and distribution system operators, and should work on providing guidance on the integration inter alia of distributed generation and storage in distribution networks or other areas which relate to the management of distribution networks.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point b
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point b
(b) setting fundamental principles for well-functioning, integrated electricity markets, which allow non-discriminatory market access for all resource providers and electricity customers, empower consumers, enable demand response, energy storage and energy efficiency, facilitate aggregation of distributed demand and supply, and contribute to the decarbonisation of the economy by enabling market integration and market- based remuneration of electricity generated from renewable sources. Interconnections between Member States further contribute to an efficient integration of electricity from renewable energy sources to countervail their variability, reduce balancing costs and encourage competition. Each Member State shall ensure that its level of electricity interconnection is equivalent to at least 10% of their installed production capacity by 2020, with a view to reaching a more ambitious level by2030;

4. GeneratingIn order to maintain a stable regulatory framework for investors, generating or energy storage installations using 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 Council 35 shall remain subject to priority dispatch. Priority dispatch shall no longer be applicable from the date where the generating or energy storage installation is subject to significant modifications, which shall be the case at least where a new connection agreement is required or the generation or energy storage 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).

Article 12 – paragraph 3
3. The responsible system operators shall report at least once per year to the competent regulatory authority, which shall be transmitted to the Agency, on curtailment or downward redispatching of generating installations using renewable energy sources or high-efficiency cogeneration and on measures taken to reduce the need for such curtailment or downward redispatching in the future, including investments in digitalisation of the grid infrastructure and in services that increase flexibility.

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 or energy storage 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, specifically not double charging 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.
