net zero industry act

The European Council has adopted the EU’s Net-Zero Industry Act as the EU looks to bolster its clean energy manufacturing industries.

The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has called on increasing work around inverters’ cyber- and data security.

The company's CEO Detlef Neuhaus said operating production in Germany was extremely difficult economically.

The Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) was approved with an aim to produce 40% of its annual deployment needs in net zero technologies by 2030.

Australia has launched the Solar Sunshot programme, a US$650 million (A$1 billion) investment for the Australian module manufacturing sector.

The European Parliament and European Council have agreed new regulations to boost EU's solar manufacturing.

The European Commission has acknowledged the current state of Europe's solar manufacturers, yet has come short of implementing any measures.

PV Tech Premium spoke with Johan Lindahl, secretary general at the ESMC about Europe's solar manufacturing industry's dire situation.

As 2023 comes to an end, PV Tech is reviewing the year in solar, reflecting on some of the biggest stories and trends of the last 12 months.

Parliament’s decision has been met with both approval and some trepidation by representatives in the European solar industry. It will now pass to negotiations with the European Council to clarify its specifics.
