No later than six months after the submission of the report pursuant to Article 19e(1) of this Regulation, each Member State shall define, on the basis of that report, an indicative national objective for non-fossil flexibility, including the respective specific contributions of both demand response and energy storage to that objective. Member States may achieve that objective by realising the identified potential of non-fossil flexibility, via the removal of identified market barriers or via the non-fossil flexibility support schemes referred to in Article 19g of this Regulation. That indicative national objective, including the respective specific contributions of demand response and energy storage to that objective, as well as measures to achieve it shall also be reflected in Member States’ integrated national energy and climate plans as regards the dimension ‘Internal Energy Market’ in accordance with Articles 3, 4 and 7 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and in their integrated national energy and climate progress reports in accordance with Article 17 of that Regulation. Member States may define provisional indicative national objectives until the report is adopted pursuant to Article 19e(1) of this Regulation.
