WindEurope feedback on recycling criteria in auctions
The European Commission recommendation and guidance documents on renewable energy auctions recommends the Member States to use environmental and sustainability criteria as pre-qualification, award criteria or a combination of both. And recommends they should be quantitative whenever possible, for example on circularity and recyclability.
The European wind industry strongly supports the introduction of sustainability-related non-price criteria in wind energy auctions in Europe. This section spells out the wind industry’s views on how governments should apply recycling and circularity criteria.
