Traduction de «Office de compensation de l'énergie électrique » (Français → Anglais) :

Activities shall focus on research, development and full scale demonstration of new smart energy grid technologies, back-up and balancing technologies enabling higher flexibility and efficiency, including conventional power plants, flexible energy storage, systems and market designs to plan, monitor, control and safely operate interoperable networks, including standardisation issues, in an open, decarbonised, environmentally sustainable, climate-resilient and competitive market, under normal and emergency conditions.

(10a) To ensure voltage and frequency stability, particular attention should be focused on the stability of the European electricity network under the changing conditions caused by the growing incoming supplies of volatile renewable energy. Further research efforts are needed in order to enable smart grids, storage capacities, and intelligent energy mix concepts to compensate for supply fluctuations in electricity generated from renewable sources.

40. Recognises that while serving as an incentive to develop low-carbon technologies, tightening the ETS reduction target would lead to a further increase in electricity prices and - if not accompanied by ambitious energy efficiency measures - in electricity costs, which would be a major concern for EU industries and for consumers; considers that according to the recent Eurobarometer survey stable and secure energy prices are a major concern for the public; points out that the ETS directive allows Member States to offset higher electricity prices for electro-intensive industries by granting State aid;

Electric vehicles help renewable energies, which have a weak spot: they are irregular.

The measures included compensatory payments to electricity producers using Spanish coal produced by undertakings that have negotiated contracts with the said electricity producers under the NSCCT (new system of public contracts for coal used in power stations), a system to be financed by a compensation fund managed by Ofico (Electricity Compensation Office).
