The European Commission has announced the establishment of three new European partnerships under the Horizon Europe 2025-2027 program to promote innovation in key sectors, including renewable energy. One of these initiatives is the European Solar PV Industry Alliance, which aims to boost European PV manufacturing capacity, develop a more resilient value chain in the EU, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The Commission and private partners plan to invest up to €240 million each over the period 2025-2030 to support this partnership. The goal is to strengthen European technology leadership in the photovoltaic sector and contribute to the EU’s sustainability goals.
This initiative is a significant step toward increasing Europe’s energy self-sufficiency and meeting climate goals, while promoting innovation and competitiveness in the renewable energy sector.
