Response to Net Zero Industry Act

27 Jun 2023

Oxford PV is an innovative European company, focused on the development and commercialisation of perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells. These cells integrate perovskite technology with conventional silicon cells, leading to a 20% increase of power generation. Perovskite solar technology is a key enabler for the green transition. We welcome the Commissions proposal for a Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) and are confident that this initiative will enhance the EUs manufacturing capacity of net zero technologies in Europe to accomplish the goals of the European Green Deal. We would like to highlight a number of measures that would further accelerate the green transition and, specifically, enhance the reshoring of EU solar manufacturing capacity across the value chain. First, we welcome the inclusion of non-price selection criteria used in public procurement, as proposed in Article 19, in particular, the call for sustainability. However, we call for a clear definition of sustainability when related to net-zero technologies, in particular, solar PV technologies. Notably, we believe that a full life-cycle approach of net-zero technologies should underpin such a definition. At the same time, the provisions of Article 19 (4), which considers cost differences above 10% as disproportionate and which would trigger not taking into account any non-price criteria, should be re-considered. This provision de facto encourages manufacturers to follow low-sustainability standards in order to reduce production costs. Furthermore, this also undermines the resilience contribution and, ultimately, the achievement of the Unions 40% manufacturing capacity goal. On top of this, we advocate for a new definition of innovative net-zero technologies that does not rely exclusively on TRL. Finally, we believe the regulation should further enhance support mechanisms for SMEs in order to benefit from fast-track permitting routes.
