Commission seeks feedback on secondary legislation for the Net-Zero Industry Act

Today, the European Commission (Commission) has launched four calls for public feedback on secondary legislation relating to the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) Regulation 2024/1735.

These rules, consisting of three implementing regulations and one delegated regulation, are designed to support the NZIA’s goal of establishing a regulatory framework that enhances the competitiveness of EU industries and promotes technologies essential for decarbonisation.

The input received will be used for the Commission’s preparation of the final draft acts. After, they will be presented to the experts’ groups and comitology committees of the EU countries before the Commission’s final approval.

These are the four different calls with their respective deadlines to submit observations:

  1. Implementing Act on non-price criteria in renewable energy auctions – Deadline: 21 February 2025
  2. Delegated act on primarily used components under the NZIA – Deadline: 20 February 2025
  3. Implementing Act on main specific components relevant for the NZIA access to markets chapter – Deadline: 20 February 2025
  4. Implementing Act on strategic project selection criteria – Deadline: 20 February 2025

Given the implications of these proposals for the public support, both at national and EU level, that potential beneficiaries will be able to obtain, we strongly encourage you to make your voice heard. Clayton & Segura can help you formulate your observations.
