66. Recognises the high potential of underused renewable energy sources in the macro-region; calls for the exploitation of available renewable sources such as solar, wind, tidal (when technically feasible) and wave energy within the energy production mix; underlines the sustainability and competitiveness of potential hydropower plants in all participating countries; calls on the participating countries to contribute to the setting-up of a well-functioning and interconnected gas and electricity market in the macro-region that will ensure equal access to cheap and affordable energy; stresses the importance of strengthening cross-border energy interconnections underpin ...[+++]ning investment in the energy sector as a key precondition for integration into the EU's energy network, as well as the removal of barriers to cross-border investment in the energy sector;

14. Urges the Commission and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) to place more emphasis on combating the problem of transmission curtailments at national borders; notes that savings equivalent to EUR 15 billion per year (10 % of the gas wholesale price) could be possible if existing market imperfections allowing uncompetitive price differentials between Member States are addressed; believes that a stronger role for ACER is necessary for a well-functioning internal energy market, as this requires both the significant development of infrastructure and of interconnectors that allow cross-border trade, and the rigorous enforcement of existing capacity allocation rules; calls for efforts to be stepped up with a view to ...[+++]improving cross-border interconnection and developing smart grids; finds it regrettable that some Member States are still in an ‘energy island’ as a result of a lack of energy interconnections with the rest of the EU, and that in certain regions of the EU increasing amounts of intermittent renewable energy cannot be transported to consumers owing to a lack of sufficient infrastructure;

12. Strongly calls for the elimination of the EU’s ‘energy islands’, which was initially scheduled to be completed in 2015; maintains, accordingly, that developing energy interconnections in order to end the isolation of any Member State is a must; emphasises the need to accelerate the implementation of strategic infrastructure projects, especially those designed to put an end to a Member State’s energy isolation, and to promote the use of renewables by facilitating their distribution; urges the Commission, in this connection, to give high priority to EU funding instruments for interconnectivity projects aimed at completing the EU int ...[+++]ernal energy market;

The EFSI should therefore support strategic investments such as, but not limited to, projects of common interest which aim to complete the internal market in the transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructure sectors, including transport and energy interconnections, and digital infrastructure; to expand renewable energy and energy and resource efficiency; to develop and modernise the energy sector in accordance with the Energy Union priorities, including security of energy supply; and to contribute to the sustainable development of those sectors and exploit potential synergies between them.

(a) development of infrastructure, including in the areas of transport, particularly in industrial centres; energy, in particular energy interconnections; and digital infrastructure.

The leaders agreed to set up a High Level Group to step up the efforts to develop energy interconnections in South-West Europe and ensure that all the present and planned project are implemented in time.
