37. Stresses the need to derive a future electricity interconnection target on the basis of
the EU’s long-term climate goals, and of the sustainable energy system that the EU is looking for; notes, in this context, that the degree
of interconnection required will depend on several parameters, including: (a)
the application in national and EU policy of the ‘energy efficiency first’ principle and more demand-side response measures;
...[+++] (b) the development of decentralised renewables-based electricity and its correlated smart grids; (c) national decisions on the energy mix, taking into account the EU’s long-term climate and energy goals; (d) the development of energy storage technologies – including at household and municipality levels; (e) the use of the best available technologies where appropriate; (f) the recognition of people as prosumers in the energy system; and (g) the creation of clear incentives for investments in the grids;
37. souligne la nécessité d'établir, à l'avenir, un objectif d'interconnexion électrique sur la base des objectifs climatiques à long terme de l'Union et du système énergétique durable vers lequel l'Union cherche à tendre; fait observer, dans ce contexte, que le niveau d'interconnexion requis dépendra de plusieurs paramètres, notamment: a) l'application du principe de l'"efficacité énergétique avant tout" dans les politiques nationales et de l'Union et davantage de mesures d'effacement de la consommation
