At this make or break moment for Europe’s energy security, crucial to its (immediate) future economic stability, the importance of swiftly establishing a solar industry at scale, as part of a broader net zero industry push, cannot be underestimated. The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has seen a stellar growth reflecting the continued strength of Europe’s solar technology value chain and the readiness of its companies and research centers to implement an industrial strategy based on next generation technology and achieving critical mass to reach global competitiveness within a matter of years. It is with European policymakers that the ESMC is working to ensure the appropriate support and level playing field is established for the European solar industry to flourish. And it is with the European IPPs, EPCs and offtakers, jointly with SolarPower Europe that the ESMC must find a common set of rules to ensure that the costs and benefits of energy security, supply chain certainty, and the opportunities of the energy transition are not only fairly shared, but also achieved. These goals need to be reached in record time (since the world is not waiting for Europe), and major milestones by ESMC and the broader solar sector have already been achieved. But there is a fundamental need to get to the finish line in the next few months, to ensure that Europe’s Net Zero Industries, including solar, can deliver the clean energy industrial strategy that the Old Continent cannot do without. Congratulations for the achievements to date to the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) and all solar sector advocates and policymakers. We look forward to work with you over the coming days, weeks and months on Europe’s fundamental clean energy future! #solarmanufacturing #NZIA #TCTF SolarNL MCPV Johan Lindahl Zygimantas Vaiciunas Walburga Hemetsberger Jochen Hauff
We at the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) are proud and happy to share a major milestone — 75 members and counting! Over the past four years, ESMC has grown by an impressive 70 members, fostering enduring connections and collaborations. This year alone, 27 new members have joined, strengthening our mandate to represent the European PV industry effectively and creating a top-tier European industry network. As we raise a toast to this milestone, we eagerly anticipate the next chapter of growth and the continued dedication to the renaissance of the European solar industry! Thanks to each and every member of ESMC for your confidence in us!
