In the light of future technical developments, the Commission should further assess bans on the placing on the market of new equipment for medium-voltage secondary switchgear and new small single split air-conditioning systems.

(e) for smart grids, the project is designed for equipments and installations at high-voltage and medium-voltage level designed for a voltage of 10kV or more.

(e) any equipment or installation, both at transmission and medium voltage distribution level, aiming at two-way digital communication, real-time or close to real-time, interactive and intelligent monitoring and management of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and consumption within an electricity network in view of developing a network efficiently integrating the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to ensure an economically efficient, sustainable electricity system with low losses and high quality and security of supply and safety;

—Renewable energy management and optimisation for small and medium-scale Distributed Generators in rural environment with predominant solar generation: 20 MW on Low Voltage (LV) network + 50 MW on Medium Voltage (MV) network.

Renewable energy management and optimisation for small and medium-scale Distributed Generators in rural environment with predominant solar generation: 20 MW on Low Voltage (LV) network + 50 MW on Medium Voltage (MV) network.

Considers that an energy policy that places greater emphasis on renewable energy and promotes decentralised energy production and, therefore, the conveyance of electricity over short distances, would make it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to promote more sustainable regional planning policies less vulnerable to climate disasters, in particular through the prompt burying of all low and medium-voltage electricity lines and the drafting of plans for the systematic burying of high and very high voltage lines;
