The EC has launched a public consultation to gather feedback on non-price criteria for future renewable energy auctions, aiming to clarify and standardize the rules across EU member states before final adoption in 1Q25, it said, cited by PV Magazine.
- The consultation focuses on criteria such as responsible business conduct, cybersecurity, project delivery, and sustainability.
- The regulation aligns with the Net Zero Industry Act, requiring 30% of renewable projects in public auctions to meet non-price criteria by January 2026, with a cap of 6GW annually.
- Feedback can be submitted until 21 February 2025.
