Position paper: Power cables should be covered by the IAA rules of origin

Selcable calls on Sweden, the European Parliament and the EU member states to work towards the re-inclusion of power cables for electricity transmission and distribution in the rules of origin under the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA).

European cable manufacturers have the capacity to meet Europe's needs for transmission and distribution cables – made in Europe for Europe's energy transition, energy security and strategic autonomy. Selcable's view is in line with Europacable's position. 

➢ Reintroduce power cables for transmission and distribution into the IAA rules of origin.

➢ Ensure that the regulations cover the EU, EEA/EFTA and the UK.

➢ Recognize power cables as strategic grid infrastructure and a key technology for Europe's energy transition.
