Article 19b Voluntary templates for PPAs and monitoring of PPAs
Article 19c Measures at Union level to contribute to the achievement of the additional share of energy from renewable sources

Article 19c

Measures at Union level to contribute to the achievement of the additional share of energy from renewable sources

The Commission shall assess whether measures at Union level can contribute to the achievement of the Member States collective endeavour of an additional 2,5  % share of energy from renewable sources in the Union’s gross final consumption of energy in 2030 pursuant to Directive (EU) 2018/2001, complementing national measures. The Commission shall analyse the possibility to use the Union renewable energy financing mechanism established pursuant to Article 33 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 to organise Union-level renewable energy auctions in line with the relevant regulatory framework.
Article 19d Direct price support schemes in the form of two-way contracts for difference for investment
Article 19e Assessment of flexibility needs
Article 19f Indicative national objective for non-fossil flexibility

Article 19f

Indicative national objective for non-fossil flexibility

No later than six months after the submission of the report pursuant to Article 19e(1) of this Regulation, each Member State shall define, on the basis of that report, an indicative national objective for non-fossil flexibility, including the respective specific contributions of both demand response and energy storage to that objective. Member States may achieve that objective by realising the identified potential of non-fossil flexibility, via the removal of identified market barriers or via the non-fossil flexibility support schemes referred to in Article 19g of this Regulation. That indicative national objective, including the respective specific contributions of demand response and energy storage to that objective, as well as measures to achieve it shall also be reflected in Member States’ integrated national energy and climate plans as regards the dimension ‘Internal Energy Market’ in accordance with Articles 3, 4 and 7 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and in their integrated national energy and climate progress reports in accordance with Article 17 of that Regulation. Member States may define provisional indicative national objectives until the report is adopted pursuant to Article 19e(1) of this Regulation.

Following the assessment carried out in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, the Commission, after receiving the national indicative objective defined and communicated by the Member States in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article, shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council assessing the national reports.

On the basis of the conclusions of the report elaborated with the first information communicated by Member States, the Commission may draw up a Union strategy on flexibility, with a particular focus on demand response and energy storage, to facilitate their deployment, which is consistent with the Union’s 2030 targets for energy and climate and the 2050 climate-neutrality objective. That Union strategy on flexibility may be accompanied, where appropriate, by a legislative proposal.
Article 19g Non-fossil flexibility support schemes
Article 19h Design principles for non-fossil flexibility support schemes

Article 19h

Design principles for non-fossil flexibility support schemes

Non-fossil flexibility support schemes applied by Member States in accordance with Article 19g(1) shall:

(a) 

not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the indicative national objective, or where relevant the provisional indicative national objective, defined pursuant to Article 19f in a cost-effective manner;

(b) 

be limited to new investment in non-fossil flexibility resources such as demand side response and energy storage;

(c) 

endeavour to take into consideration locational criteria to ensure that investments in new capacity take place in optimal locations;

(d) 

not imply starting fossil fuel-based generation located behind the metering point;

(e) 

select capacity providers by means of an open, transparent, competitive, voluntary, non-discriminatory and cost-effective process;

(f) 

prevent undue distortions to the efficient functioning of electricity markets including preserving efficient operation incentives and price signals and the exposure to price variation and market risk;

(g) 

provide incentives for the integration in the electricity markets in a market-based and market-responsive way, while avoiding unnecessary distortions of electricity markets as well as taking into account possible system integration costs and grid congestion and stability;

(h) 

set out a minimum level of participation in the electricity markets in terms of activated energy, which takes into account the technical specificities of the asset delivering the flexibility;

(i) 

apply appropriate penalties to capacity providers which do not respect the minimum level of participation in the electricity markets referred to in point (h), or which do not follow efficient operation incentives and price signals referred to in point (f);

(j) 

promote the opening to the cross-border participation of those resources that are capable of providing the required technical performance, where a cost-benefit analysis is positive.
