Under Article 28 of the EU’s Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), public grant schemes supporting households and businesses must encourage the uptake of net-zero technologies that demonstrate high sustainability and resilience. This means that, in addition to standard financial support, eligible products—such as solar PV systems, solar water heaters, batteries, and heat pumps—may receive additional financial incentives if they meet specific criteria. These criteria assess factors such as reduced reliance on single third-country supply chains, improved environmental performance, innovation, and contribution to energy system integration. The aim is to ensure that supported technologies not only reduce emissions but also strengthen supply security and enhance the overall efficiency and flexibility of the energy system.
