While the texts introduce relevant improvements, further systemic changes and a more pragmatic regulatory approach will be necessary to ensure a simple, clear and consistent digital rulebook.

ENGIE welcomes the European Commissions initiative of a Digital Omnibus and values the opportunity to provide its views on this simplification effort. ENGIE recognises the robustness of the existing EU digital framework.

ENGIE welcomes the opportunity to participate to this consultation allowing to stimulate reflections on how a revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED) can effectively contribute to a more integrated energy system which should enable the achievement of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets and carbon-neutrality by 2050 at lowest cost for society, while ensuring security of supply.

As far as the Public Procurement Directive and the Concessions Directive are concerned, ENGIE considers that they are still relevant today, and that they are still generally adapted to the specific needs of our business sectors. The current rules for awarding concession contracts for instance are satisfactory for the implementation and development of the energy projects we bid on.

ENGIE welcomes the Commission's efforts to improve the usability of the Taxonomy by simplifying the Technical Screening Criteria (TSC), removing unnecessary barriers and making proof of compliance easier while reducing the overall administrative burden.

ENGIE supports the revision of the EPBD to be in line with the increased EU energy & climate ambition for 2030 and coherent with the actions proposed in the renovation wave strategy. To fulfil these objectives, the option 3 proposed by the Commission seems the most appropriate one, the current legal framework being insufficient. Building sector can play a critical role to meet this target.

ENGIE welcomes the opportunity to respond to this consultation and appreciates the improvements introduced in the Commissions draft delegated act. While the proposal usefully clarifies several provisions and simplifies certain requirements, a limited number of important shortcomings remain to be addressed, includingbut not limited tothe provisions on anticipated financial effects.

ENGIE welcomes the European Commissions work on the Digital Fairness Act (DFA) and supports measures that strengthen consumer trust, transparency and fair competition in digital environments. In liberalised energy markets, comparison tools, switching platforms and digital intermediaries now shape consumer access to offers and influence market visibility, making transparency and neutrality in digital interfaces a key…

Europe is striving to become the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050 and as a key milestone on this path, the European Commission proposes to raise the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target for 2030 to at least 55%. Transport is identified as one of the sectors which need to step up efforts urgently. ENGIE supports this very ambitious target.

ENGIE welcomes the EC’s proposal, which acknowledges the key role of renewable & low carbon gases in the energy transition. Gases market design: operational impacts and incentives The introduction of an entry-exit system that merges Transmission&Distribution (T&D) levels should ensure the integration of the distribution system level in the balancing zone and help to achieve a level playing field for Renewable and…

Quickly developing and deploying a resilient, fully interconnected and digitalised energy infrastructure has become an absolute imperative to succeed in the energy transition, enhance our European competitiveness while decarbonising our economy and making our energy system more resilient and safer.

Through its entities Supply & Energy Management (gas midstreamer), NaTran (gas TSO), and Elengy (LNG terminal operator), ENGIE is committed to supporting the development of a competitive European CO market, underpinned by infrastructure for CO transport, storage, and utilisation. Access to affordable and reliable CCUS is essential for EU industry to meet EU climate objectives.

Accounting for nearly 50% of the EU's total final energy consumption, the H&C sector is central to addressing the EU's major challenges: decarbonization, energy independence, promotion of RES, resilience & flexibility of the energy system, undertaking competitiveness & household affordability. ENGIE supports the EU Commission in its commitment to proposing a comprehensive strategy for this sector.

ENGIE’s position on the European Commission’s proposal to revise the TEN-E ENGIE is convinced that achieving the full decarbonisation of the European Union by making use of both electricity and gas assets in a coupled manner would be more efficient and significantly cheaper than a full electrification scenario.

ENGIE group is committed to pursue and intensify its contribution to the reduction of methane emissions. Gas infrastructure operators of ENGIE group (namely Elengy, GRDF, GRTgaz, Storengy) are targeting an overall reduction of 45% in methane emissions from infrastructure between 2016 and 2025, increasing to 60-75% by 2030, compared with 2016. Methane emissions have already been reduced by 15% between 2016 and 2019.

ENGIE wants to underline first that, as stated in the “EU strategy to reduce methane emissions” dated 14.10.2020, if we consider only anthropogenic methane emissions at the EU level : • 53% of methane emissions is due to agriculture ; • 26% of methane emissions is due to waste ; • 19% of methane emissions is due to energy, oil and gas representing then 10% only of EU anthropogenic methane emissions.

ENGIE welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Delegated Directive amending Annex V and Annex VI to Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as regards rules for calculating the greenhouse gas impact of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels and their fossil fuel comparators. Please find attached our position paper.

ENGIE welcomes the proposal for a directive on cybersecurity. We believe it is important to give the entities targeted by NIS2 the ability to define which essential services and activities need to be better protected and which are the most important computer systems and networks that support them.

ENGIE welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Europeans Commission consultation on the role of international carbon credits in the EUs 2040 climate policy framework. To achieve the intermediary 2040 climate target and carbon neutrality by 2050, Europe requires swift, transformative action across all sectors.

ENGIE welcomes DG ENER's consultation on guidance for the designation of RES Acceleration Areas by Member States (MS). While these areas, if designated in an efficient and coordinated manner, are a source of leverage to achieve the EU's 2030 RES target, they should in no way reduce the deployment of RES in or outside these areas due to lengthy administrative procedures.

ENGIE welcomes the European Commission's initiative to enhance the empowerment of consumers in line with the Green Deal action plan. ENGIE Group is dedicated to supporting its clients' commitment to the green transition in many ways by helping our customers to use energy more efficiently and reducing their CO2 emissions through a broad range of solutions for energy and beyond.

ENGIE welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the revision of the Governance Regulation. A robust governance structure is essential to deliver the EUs 2040 climate target, achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and support a competitive, secure and resilient energy system.

ENGIE welcomes the call for evidence on the energy security framework. The current geopolitical context, combined with the acceleration of renewables and electrification, calls for a robust and forward-looking energy security framework.

ENGIE welcomes the proposal for revision of the CO2 standards for the heavy-duty vehicles sector as part of the overall EU strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The heavy duty transport segment is a rather hard to abate sector because of its diverse use cases (urban/peri-urban transport, regional and long distance travels, transport of goods or persons, specific purpose vehicles etc.), specific constraints…

ENGIE welcomes the European Commissions proposal for an EU-wide energy efficiency rating scheme for data centres as an important step toward aligning digital growth with energy transition goals. By incentivising improved energy performance, renewable energy sourcing, reduced water consumption, and waste heat recovery, the scheme has the potential to guide the sector toward more sustainable practices.

ENGIE welcomes the EC’s proposal, which acknowledges the role of Renewable & Low Carbon (R&LC) gases in the energy transition. Definition of gases The proposed gas regulation and directive are reviewing definitions to cover R&LC gases. However, the proposed definitions and the additional (undefined) terms are mixing different elements: main chemical element, origin or GHG content.

We have discussed with a number of our banks of a potential revision of Basel requirements on certain types of guarantees. These changes relate mainly to : 1. an increase of the credit conversion factor (CCF) from 20 % to 50 % on Technical Guarantees 2. Effective Maturity vs 2,5 years fixed On point 1.

ENGIE welcomes and supports the draft European Regulation 2023/0177 which aims to improve the reliability, comparability and transparency of ESG ratings by introducing requirements for the methodological transparency of these ratings towards the public and customers, and by establishing a clear regulatory framework for the operation, governance and supervision of ESG rating agencies operating in the European Union.

the draft directive could have an advantage for small and medium-sized enterprises through the deduction of notional interest. On the other hand, for large groups, it is mainly aimed at penalising debt financing, while it is up to markets or banks to play this role as a regulator.
