[Solar PV: Resilicon’s Dutch Polysilicon Facility Named Strategic Project Under EU Net Zero Industry Act]

Published: Apr 27, 2026 09:23
The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate has designated Resilicon’s planned polysilicon facility in Groningen, Netherlands, as a strategic project under the EU’s Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA). The project aims to reduce heavy reliance on non-EU polysilicon sources, where over 85% of global production is currently concentrated. With an estimated capital requirement of approximately €900 million, the facility is designed to be one of the world's most energy-efficient plants, utilizing green raw materials like metallurgical silicon and hydrogen. This initiative is pivotal for strengthening European supply chain resilience, targeting the projected 80,000–120,000 MT of annual European polysilicon demand by the end of the decade.
