Meeting Sustainability Requirements From End-Users: PV Sustainability and Resilience in Public Procurement

The European PV sector is adapting to a changing legislative framework, in which more focus is being given to sustainability and resilience considerations in public procurement. Under Art. 25 of the Net Zero Industrial Act (NZIA), the European Commission is currently defining the public procurement rules to boost EU manufacturing competitiveness while improving the sustainability profile of purchased PV products. This legislation comes at a time when EU buildings, and especially public buildings, are being systematically equipped with solar PV under the European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). In this session we will bring together representatives from public procurement authorities, EU policymakers and product suppliers to exchange views on sustainability and resilience criteria in public procurement.
