High-voltage direct current power supplies capable of continuously producing, over a time period of 8 hours, 20 000 V or greater with current output of 1 amp or greater and with current or voltage regulation better than 0.1%.

Specifically, the Commission is requesting: Ireland and Portugal to transpose the Directive on lifts and safety components for lifts (Directive 2014/33/EU) which lays down the requirements that need to be met to place lifts and lift safety components on the EU market while ensuring a high level of safety for lift users and maintenance staff; Portugal to transpose the Directive on pressure equipment (Directive 2014/68/EU), which covers a broad range of industrial equipment, such as compressors and heat exchangers, but also to consumer products such as fire extinguishers and pressure cookers; and Cyprus to transpose the Directive on electromagnetic compatibility (Directive 2014/30/EU) and the Low Voltage Directive (Directive 2014/35/EU), th ...[+++]e first of which ensures that electrical and electronic equipment does not generate, nor is affected by, electromagnetic disturbance while the latter lays down the essential safety requirements for electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits such as for example in household appliances, cables and power supply units.

As the concession holder for the high-voltage transmission network in France, EDF created accounting reserves between 1987 and 1996 with a view to renovating the grid.

27. Asks the Commission to support and promote the setting up and development of a European high-voltage direct current (HVDC) grid able to optimise the harnessing of renewable energy sources, particularly wind and hydropower. This grid would provide long-range energy transmission at low energy loss, while making possible a synergy among all renewable energy sources;

Electricity transmission comprises services for transmission of electric energy at high voltage over an interconnected group of lines and associated equipment between points of supply and the points at which it is transformed to low voltage for delivery to consumers or delivery to other electric systems.

TXU Germany, acting as an electricity broker, supplies only a limited amount of electricity in Germany into the high-voltage grid (over 220 kV) and does not supply any customer in the area covered by Stadtwerke Kiel.
