"The EU should focus in the forthcoming financial period on energy infrastructure, which is outdated and poorly interconnected. High-quality infrastructure is, moreover, essential to the achievement of the EU’s long-term goals, such as reducing carbon emissions, guaranteeing security of supply and price stability for consumers and developing a single market in energy which ensures access to sources of energy for businesses and citizens at affordable prices.
As far as electrical power is concerned, the Commission should progress with the issue of definition and the implementation of its proposals regarding priority corridors that should link up European transport networks by 2020, specific proposals in the area of infrastructure and the connections essential for integrating power generation from renewable sources. It is vital to speed up the identification and construction of electricity highways. The new network infrastructure should include ‘intelligent networks’ based on sources provided by new information and communications technology. ‘Intelligent technologies’ should enable citizens to control their household consumption, thus avoiding waste and reducing both their individual and shared costs.
Natural gas presents us with specific problems. I am concerned about our dependence on a single source in Eastern Europe, as this can lead to problems over security of supply, as we have seen in the past. In my opinion, diversification of sources ought to be the touchstone of a new policy which strives for security of supply."@en1
