During July’s plenary session, MEPs will vote on a resolution calling for a revision of funding guidelines for cross-border, trans-European energy infrastructure projects to bring them into line with EU climate policy.
The resolution, adopted on 18 February by Parliament’s industry, research and energy committee, calls for the TEN-E guidelines to be consistent with the EU’s energy and climate targets for 2030, its long-term commitment on decarbonisation and the energy efficiency first principle.
MEPs will also call for a boost to energy storage solutions to help increase the share of renewables in the EU energy mix. New battery technologies, thermal storage and green hydrogen could play a crucial role in reaching the goals set out in the Paris agreement goals and ensuring a constant energy supply.
