European Parliament Endorses the Net-Zero Industry Act

In Strasbourg today, during the final plenary session preceding the European elections, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have endorsed the Net-Zero Industry Act. This decision comes after the provisional agreement of the law in February, signaling the completion of the NZIA. The impending concluding step entails approval from EU Competition Ministers on 24th May 2024.

Dries Acke, Deputy CEO of SolarPower Europe,issued the following statement:

The importance of the Net-Zero Industry Act can’t be understated and is demonstrated by its rapid negotiation and conclusion – few EU laws are introduced and agreed within a year.  

The implementation of the NZIA must now be as rapid as its adoption. It’s an essential piece of the industrial strategy puzzle, which will substantially improve off-take visibility for EU solar manufacturers at this critical time. 

The subsequent Implementation Act of the NZIA must ensure that the new public procurement rules are applied consistently and sensibly across the EU. Rules should respect the different starting points of each net-zero technology.

We would deeply encourage Member States to ensure that the resilience principles of the NZIA are adopted as soon as possible – with solar manufacturers in peril, there is no time to lose.  

Of course, the NZIA is only one part of the story, while landing the NZIA sends a strong signal, it doesn’t negate the need for emergency support and for a structural EU fund for scaling solar manufacturing soon. Some manufacturers have weeks left of survival, this emergency requires urgent action from EU and national authorities.”
