Objectives
Article 3
1. The URDP aims to facilitate statistical transfers of energy from renewable sources for the purposes of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and to facilitate the achievement of the Union target set out in Article 3(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and of each Member State’s contribution to that target established in accordance with Article 3(2) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. 2. The URDP shall: (a) identify potential opportunities for statistical transfers among Member States by providing aggregated information on: (i) Member States which have exceeded or are expected to exceed their renewable contribution or target and thus potentially have excess renewable statistical amounts to be transferred to another Member State; (ii) Member States which have fallen short or are expected to fall short of their renewable contribution or target and could therefore be potentially in deficit of renewable statistical amounts; (b) include information provided by Member States on supply and demand for statistical transfers of renewable energy, including volume, price and time frame as well as any additional conditions for the transfer; (c) facilitate agreements on statistical transfers between Member States through a non-binding matching mechanism of demand for and supply of statistical transfers between Member States and by providing contact points in Member States to enter into discussions on agreements; (d) provide access to guidance material assisting Member States in concluding statistical transfers; (e) increase transparency on concluded statistical transfer agreements by providing key information on those transfers, including information about volumes, prices and timing as well as the related statistical transfer agreement documents, where they are publicly available. 3. In addition to the objectives set out in paragraph 2, the URDP may provide any other functionality relating to the process of statistical transfers of energy from renewable sources to contribute to the objective set out in paragraph 1.
