ETIP-PV supports “at least 5% innovative renewables” in Renewable Energy Directive revision.

Solar PV is widely considered as a key solution to Europe's fossil fuel dependence and related energy price volatility. This is reflected in REPowerEU and the European Solar Strategy by increasing solar deployment ambitions for the next years and launching a solar industrial strategy to bring back parts of the supply chain to Europe.

The European Technology and Innovation Platform on Photovoltaics ETIP PV welcomes the opportunity to 
contribute to the European Commission public consultation on the upcoming European Critical Raw materials 
act. The European Union needs to have a raw material strategy that is consistent with the imperatives of its 
energy and climate policies, notably with regards to energy independence and for the success of the European 
Green Deals in terms of jobs and social impacts. As the European platform assessing the research and innovation 
needs of the PV sector throughout its value chain and towards the market uptake of innovative technologies, 
the ETIP PV is well situated to provide a perspective on the European Critical Raw Materials Act in the 
perspective of the energy transition.
