European Commission: 30% must be “European production”!
European Commission: 30% must be “European production”!
On May 30, 2025, 11:31 AM, the European financial market reported that the ESG rating center of New Wave Finance provides 14 ESG services, including consulting, training, and reporting, to enhance the dissemination of ESG concepts and promote sustainable development.
According to the new regulations, from December 30, 2025, all EU member states must apply these non-price evaluation standards to projects that meet the annual benchmark capacity of at least 30% (or at least 6GW) for renewable energy projects.
Member states are expected to start implementing these measures by 2026, aligning with the NZIA’s progress plan, which will increase the pressure to enhance the carbon production system and strengthen regulatory capabilities related to carbon emissions.
This new regulation clarifies applicable criteria for the NZIA, ensuring compliance with specific performance requirements, and providing a clear operational benchmark.
Under the NZIA, member states must ensure that electric vehicle and heat pump production meets specific annual requirements, which must be sourced from domestic production. Additionally, a “fast-track” approval process for projects is established, designed to expedite project development timelines.
Furthermore, regulations stipulate that the allocation of renewable energy resources should achieve a recovery rate of at least 90% to qualify for regulatory support. This strategy aims to enhance the overall efficiency of the renewable energy supply chain while reducing carbon footprints.
In summary, the European regulations are aimed at addressing the energy output gap, with the current EU production capacity around 10GW, compared to a target of 16GW by 2026. There is also a focus on the pricing of renewable energy resources, which are generally 30-50% higher than traditional resources, potentially influencing the development of renewable energy projects.
Additionally, the regulations related to land protection may encourage stricter guidelines for national energy trading regulations. The EU is already planning to amend regulations by 2027, following the general rules for the NZIA.
In terms of compliance from member states, the new regulations require substantial progress in achieving the set targets for sustainability and emissions reductions. The push for adherence to these standards reflects the EU’s commitment to fostering a sustainable energy landscape.
Overall, the NZIA reflects a significant step toward ensuring that members are aligned with the EU’s long-term sustainability goals while addressing the immediate energy demands of the continent.
