What they argued
CEDEC believes that the inclusion of waste-to- energy plants in the EU ETS, especially without a proper assessment of the specific characteristics of the waste sector, could significantly compromise the achievement of circular economy and climate neutrality goals.
CEDEC welcomes the opportunity to give feedback to the Commission White Paper How to master Europes future infrastructure needs?, in which it outlines its vision for Europes digital future. While CEDEC supports some of the concrete measures aimed at a fast copper switch-off and migration to fibre networks which will positively contribute to the greening of digital networks and sustainability and foster broadband…
CEDEC members are evidently committed to reduce GHG emissions linked to their activities, including those regarding fluorinated gases. The availability of suitable and reliable alternatives to SF6 switchgear for use in the distribution networks is evidently a prerequisite to gradually shift away from SF6-use.
CEDEC, the European Federation of Local Energy Companies, represents the interests of more than 1500 local and regional energy companies, active in every part of the electricity and gas value chain. CEDEC fully supports the Green Deal objectives the European Commission intends to achieve.
CEDEC believes that a new policy framework supporting the uptake of renewable, decarbonised and low-carbon gases, is urgently needed to allow these gases to play a role in achieving an integrated, reliable, sustainable and affordable energy system.
CEDEC welcomes the opportunity to give feedback on the TEN-E review proposal. The alignment with the 2030 climate target and the 2050 climate neutrality objective is a welcomed step towards a future-proof energy infrastructure. It should also build on the Clean Energy Package.
CEDEC highly welcomed the Commission objective to define monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV), improving leak detection and repair (LDAR), and limiting venting and flaring of fossil fuels, as mentioned in the EC Communication on a EU strategy to reduce methane emissions published 14 October 2020.
CEDECs assessment of the proposal is largely positive. Metrics like power and water usage effectiveness (PUE, WUE) and renewable energy factor (REF) are well reflected The REF factor is particularly important as it underpins transparency and demand for renewable energy through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Guarantees of Origin.
