WindEurope position on cyber and international data transfer pre-qualification criteria in national wind energy auctions

The recent Wind Power Package and the design guidance for non-price criteria in renewable energy auctions advises that Member States incorporate pre-qualification standards related to cybersecurity and international data transfer in their wind energy auctions, aligning with EU regulations and international commitments. The Net Zero Industry Act will mandate these criteria for Member States when organizing auctions for technologies deemed strategic for achieving net-zero emissions.
