Consistency to be ensured with long-term strategies pursuant to Article 15.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2013 on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1364/2006/EC and amending Regulations (EC) No 713/2009, (EC) No 714/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 (OJ L 115, 25.4.2013, p. 39).
When planning those measures, Member States shall take into account the end of life of existing installations and the potential for repowering.
In accordance with Article 2a of Directive 2010/31/EU.
In accordance with Article 18 of Directive 2012/27/EU.
In accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2012/27/EU.
In accordance with Articles 12 and 17 of Directive 2012/27/EU
In accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2012/27/EU.
In accordance with Article 15(2) of Directive 2012/27/EU.
Policies and measures shall reflect the energy efficiency first principle.
Consistency shall be ensured with the preventive action and emergency plans under Regulation (EU) 2017/1938 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2017 concerning measures to safeguard the security of gas supply and repealing Regulation (EU) No 994/2010 (OJ L 280, 28.10.2017, p. 1) as well as the risk preparedness plans under Regulation (EU) 2018/2001 [as proposed by COM(2016) 862 on risk-preparedness in the electricity sector and repealing Directive 2005/89/EC].
Policies and measures shall reflect the energy efficiency first principle.
Other than the PCI Regional Groups established under Regulation (EU) No 347/2013.
Other than the PCI Regional Groups established under Regulation (EU) No 347/2013.
In accordance with Article 15(8) of Directive 2012/27/EU.
See Part 2 for a detailed list of parameters and variables to be reported in Section B of the Plan.
Current situation shall reflect the date of submission of the national plan (or latest available date). Existing policies and measures encompass implemented and adopted policies and measures. Adopted policies and measures are those for which an official government decision has been made by the date of submission of the national plan and there is a clear commitment to proceed with implementation. Implemented policies and measures are those for which one or more of the following applies at the date of submission of the integrated national energy and climate plan or the integrated national energy and climate progress report: directly applicable European legislation or national legislation is in force, one or more voluntary agreements have been established, financial resources have been allocated, human resources have been mobilised.
The selection of exogenous factors may be based on the assumptions made in the EU Reference Scenario 2016 or other subsequent policy scenarios for the same variables. Besides, Member States specific results of the EU Reference Scenario 2016 as well as results of subsequent policy scenarios may also be a useful source of information when developing national projections with existing policies and measures and impact assessments.
In accordance with Article 14(1) of Directive 2012/27/EU.
This reference business as usual projection shall be the basis for the 2030 final and primary energy consumption target which is described in 2.3 and conversion factors.
With reference to overviews of existing transmission infrastructure by Transmission System Operators (TSOs).
With reference to national network development plans and regional investment plans of TSOs.
With reference to overviews of existing transmission infrastructure by TSOs.
With reference to national network development plans and regional investment plans of TSOs.
Planned policies and measures are options under discussion and having a realistic chance of being adopted and implemented after the date of submission of the national plan. The resulting projections under section 5.1.i shall therefore include not only implemented and adopted policies and measures (projections with existing policies and measures), but also planned policies and measures.
For the plan covering the period from 2021 to 2030: For each parameter/variable in the list, trends over the years 2005-2040 (2005-2050 where appropriate) including for the year 2030 in five-year intervals shall be reported both in Section 4 and 5. Parameter based on exogenous assumptions v modelling output shall be indicated.
As far as possible, reported data and projections shall build on and be consistent with Eurostat data and methodology used for reporting European statistics in the relevant sectoral law, as European statistics are the primary source of statistical data used for reporting and monitoring, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics.
Note: all projections are to be performed on the basis of constant prices (2016 prices used as base year)
The Commission will provide recommendations for key parameters for projections, at least covering oil, gas, and coal import prices as well as EU ETS carbon prices.
