Justification

The proposal excludes the possibility of granting the PCI status for projects in the gas sector, including those that are considered as priority on the 4th PCI list. Gas PCI projects have largely contributed to ensuring a secure, competitive and interconnected market. Natural gas will continue to play an important role in the decarbonisation of EU Member States. For this purpose, it is necessary to create the necessary gas infrastructure in regions where the current gas network does not allow the supply of appropriate volumes of gas fuel to existing and new customers.

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(d a) transmission pipelines or reception, storage and regasification or decompression facilities for liquefied natural gas (LNG) or any equipment or installation essential for the system to operate safely, securely and efficiently for the purpose of methane and hydrogen to enable fuel switch from more carbon intensive fuels (notably coal, lignite, oil) during a transitional period, giving access to multiple network users on a transparent and non-discriminatory basis, provided that, upon construction, these investments are ready for the future use of hydrogen.

Or. en

Justification

The shift away from hard and lignite coal can only be successfully achieved in the short and medium term if the European regulatory framework, including the new TEN-E Regulation, allows natural gas to be used in the decarbonisation process. A fast phase-out of coal, lignite and oil can only be successfully achieved if an intermediate 'transition': switch to natural gas is enabled; given the scale of generation that will need to be replaced over a very short timeframe, renewable electricity capacity in the regions concerned will not be able to increase rapidly enough to cover lost coal-based generation capacity. This can be done through high efficiency gas CCGTs and CHPs, combined with growth in renewable energy sources. Failing to provide for this, may result in coal-fired generation remaining active far longer than necessary.Therefore, it is necessary to create the necessary gas infrastructure in regions where the current gas network does not allow the supply of appropriate volumes of gas fuel to existing and new customers (e.g., coal to gas switch in the electricity and heating generation). These investments can be made 'hydrogen ready', thereby contributing to effective transport of both methane and hydrogen, following the gas demand transition.

Justification

We welcome the proposal of the Portuguese Presidency to modify the electrolyser category in Annex II, raising the minimum threshold to 50MW, but the perimeter should ideally be extended so that the threshold is defined not at the level of a single plant but rather of a group of plants in view of the the sector coupling of gas and electricity infrastructures, also in relation to the network requirements that may be identified.

Justification

Network components play a crucial role in stabilizing potential frequency fluctuations while increasing operational safety, power and voltage quality. The components can be installed linked to transmission grid expansion or be installed as individual investments. The need for grid stabilizing and power quality improvement increases as more intermittent and renewable energy sources are integrated to the European energy grid.
