Response to European Climate Law amendment

16 Sept 2025

- Nordenergi fully supports an ambitious EU climate target and the intermediate 2040 target of 90 percent emission in line with the 1,5-degree target set by the Paris Agreement. Efforts to limit climate change must accelerate and the 2040 target will pave the way toward the EU goal of climate neutrality 2050. - The target will lay the foundation for the development of an ambitious, cost-effective and supportive policy framework for the EU by 2040. A strong EU ETS is a key instrument for the emissions reductions. - Reaching the target will require all zero and low carbon energy solutions (including renewables, nuclear, energy efficiency, storage, CCS, CCU, carbon removals, geothermal and hydro-energy, sustainable bioenergy and all other current and future net-zero energy technologies), reduce import dependencies. - Nordenergi agrees that any use of international credits needs to be based on a thorough impact assessment and on the development of Union law resulting in strong and ambitious integrity criteria and standards and on the establishment of conditions regarding the origin, timing and use of such credits. Only credits of high quality and clear additionality should be accepted. However, the use of international credits must not be at the expense of the price signal within the EU ETS. - Nordenergi believes that a separate indicative target is needed for industrial carbon capture for removals (negative emissions) and utilization. Scaling up carbon removals is necessary for reaching both a 2040 target and to reach climate neutrality by 2050. - Nordenergi agrees that a certain amount of flexibility both between sectors and between Member States leads to a more likely and more cost-effective achievement of targets, as the different Member States have different starting points and energy systems. - Public acceptance and support for climate change mitigation policies is key to reaching the targets. Nordenergi is the collaboration between the Nordic energy associations Finnish Energy, Green Power Denmark, Renewables Norway, Samorka and Swedenergy.

Response to Commission Recommendation and guidance on design elements of renewable energy auctions

1 Mar 2024

Nordenergi calls for further action to increase deployment of offshore wind in order to reach the EU 2040 climate target. Harmonized auction schemes for offshore wind that enhances necessary innovation, scale, and cost-reduction. Improved design of national tenders, in particular qualitative criteria, and non-price award criteria. Faster permitting. Better grid planning and accelerated development of cross-border infrastructure projects. Long-term predictability for the offshore wind pipeline. Auction design adjusted large scale floating offshore wind Nordenergi callsfor a 90 % European climate target in 2040. We see offshore wind as a key technology to achieve the target, and we support the ambitious GW goal in the EU and the North Sea. Nordenergi would like to emphasize that a 90 % emissionsreduction target for 2040 makesit necessary to increase the European level of deployment of renewable and other clean electricity significantly. On the 20th of November 2023, North Sea Energy Cooperation (NSEC) ministers met in The Hague, welcoming and aiming to actively engage on the European Commissions Wind Power Package. In that context, Nordenergi also calls for further swift action to increase deployment of onshore, but particularly offshore wind in the Nordics and around the Baltic and North-Sea basins, including improved and harmonised auction design, faster permitting, better grid planning ang increased visibility of offshore wind projects pipeline. However, there are also further actions that could be considered and that can support the supply chain (and industry development more in general) like financial guarantees, infrastructure developments etc. NSEC is a great example of coordination and collaboration needed to unlock the opportunities for offshore wind to contribute as a key technology to EU and Norwegian energy and climate targets. Nordenergi welcomes the Wind Power Package. We consider efficient implementation to be key, and we will actively engage in its implementation. Overall, we support the main elements of the Wind Power Action Plan, but conjecture that further measures, especially regarding floating wind power, will be necessary to underpin the required growth in European wind-based industry. To ensure scaling of floating offshore wind, adjustments of awarding procedures, prequalification, and award criteria, as well as support schemes might be required. Nordenergi supports the Wind Energy Charter, signed by most EU energy ministers and wind industry 19th of December 2023. Nordenergi urges all EU member states and EEA countries to rapidly implement the actions proposed in the Wind Power Package and actively engage in the drafting of and signing the announced Wind Energy Charter. The Nordic and Baltic Sea basins have enormous potential. To unlock this potential close cross-border collaboration is needed. As the NSEC countries, including Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, want to build 76 GW offshore wind by 2030, 193 GW by 2040 and 260 GW by 2050, both bottom fixed and floating offshore wind technology must be deployed at a large scale, and at a rapid pace. Nordenergi calls for a harmonized auction scheme that enhances necessary innovation, scale, and cost-reduction. Nordenergi focus on four action areas to address key challenges for offshore wind Europe is not performing in building enough wind power to reach our ambitious goals, and it is crucial that the European wind supply chain isstrengthened to become sustainable, resilient, and competitive to continue to play a key role in the green transition. The wind industry is facing major difficulties, and the situation callsfor immediate action. Nordenergi strongly supports the European wind industry.
