We welcome the review of national climate targets after 2030 in the context of the EU 2040 climate target and climate neutrality by 2050.

Oesterreichs Energie, the Association of Austrian Electricity Companies, would like to express deep concern about the definition of total renewable energy consumption from guarantees of origin in Annex III to the Delegated Act. The current Guarantees of Origin (GoO) system is fundamentally based on the monthly or balancing-based allocation of electricity volumes. A shift to 15-minute granularity, i.e.
