Translation of "distribution d'énergie " (French → English) :

14. Considers that local sustainable energy strategies have an essential role in terms of regional and social development, as they enhance the participation of regional players in renewable energy projects; notes that the Member States and regions have their own strengths as far as renewable energy sources are concerned and that, because of geographical differences; notes that renewable energy policy cannot be exactly the same in every region and therefore flexibility is needed; believes that the specific strengths of a region shall be brought to the fore and best utilised; reminds that local and regional conditions and resources have to be taken into account for the developing of RES potential; points out that bioenergy and other rene ...[+++]wable energy sources can do much to foster energy management, economic growth, and vitality, especially in outermost regions, islands and remote areas, sparsely populated regions and rural areas; considers that the Common Strategic Framework funding for renewables should contribute the regional distribution of the energy produced and small-scale renewable projects; emphasizes the important role of SMEs in renewable energy policy;

29. Recalls that investment in renewable energy sources represents more than half of all investments in new generation capacity over the last ten years and will continue to grow; emphasises that according a large share of the energy mix to RES entails major challenges for existing network infrastructure, and that investment is necessary to overcome these challenges; notes that, in certain Member States in which the increased feed-in from RES was not accompanied by the development of energy infrastructure, supply security is challenged by such increased feed-in; emphasises that according to ENTSO-E a significant proportion of all the bottlenecks in European energy grids relate to feed-in from RES; emphasises the importance of implementin ...[+++]g new approaches to overcome bottlenecks in the distribution grids, which do not always entail grid extension and reinforcement; is confident that the benefits of upgrading the European grid, which is equally due to the single electricity market, can offset its costs by offering a much more efficient operation of the EU’s power system; calls on the Transmission System Operators to update their grid development policies in order to cope with the integration of RES generation capacities while maintaining security of supply, and to enhance cooperation with distribution system operators;

7'. energy distributor' means a natural or legal person, including a distribution system operator, responsible for transporting energy with a view to its delivery to final customers or to distribution stations that sell energy to final customers.

‘energy distributor’ means a natural or legal person, including a distribution system operator, responsible for transporting energy with a view to its delivery to final customers or to distribution stations that sell energy to final customers.

Excludes energy used for the pipeline distribution of natural or manufactured gas, hot water or steam from the distributor to final users (to be reported in the energy sector), energy used for the final distribution of water to household, industrial, commercial and other users (to be included in commercial and public services) and losses occurring during this transport between distributor and final users (to be reported as distribution losses).

In the Community there is a need for improved energy end-use efficiency, managed demand for energy and promotion of the production of renewable energy, as there is relatively limited scope for any other influence on energy supply and distribution conditions in the short to medium term, either through the building of new capacity or through the improvement of transmission and distribution.
