I roto i te horopaki o te whakawhiti waro-kore, he nui te tumanako a ngā whenua katoa mō te pūngao hauwai, me te whakapono ka kawea mai e te pūngao hauwai ngā huringa nui ki te ahumahi, te kawe waka, te hanga me ētahi atu mara, ka āwhina i te whakarerekē i te hanganga pūngao, me te whakatairanga i te haumitanga me te mahi.
Ko te Kotahitanga o Ūropi, inā koa, kei te whakapau kaha ki te whakawhanake i te pūngao hauwai hei whakakore i te whakawhirinaki o Rūhia ki te pūngao me te tango i te waro o ngā umanga taumaha.
I te marama o Hūrae 2020, i whakatakotohia e te EU tētahi rautaki hauwai, ā, i panuitia te whakatūnga o tētahi hononga mō te Pūngao Hauwai Ma. Tae noa ki tēnei wā, 15 ngā whenua o te Kotahitanga o Ūropi kua whakauru i te hauwai ki roto i ā rātou mahere whakaora ōhanga.
Whai muri i te pakanga i waenganui i a Rūhia me Ukraine, kua noho te pūngao hauwai hei wāhanga nui o te rautaki whakarerekētanga hanganga pūngao o te EU.
I te marama o Mei 2022, i panuitia e te Kotahitanga o Europi te mahere REPowerEU hei whakakore i ngā kawemai pūngao o Ruhia, ā, kua nui ake te hiranga o te pūngao hauwai. Ko te whāinga o te mahere he whakaputa i te 10 miriona tāne o te hauwai hou ki roto i te EU, me te kawemai i te 10 miriona tāne o te hauwai hou i te tau 2030. Kua hangaia hoki e te EU he "Pēke Hauwai Europi" hei whakanui ake i te haumitanga ki te mākete pūngao hauwai.
Heoi, ko ngā pūtake rerekē o te pūngao hauwai te mea e whakatau ana i te mahi a te pūngao hauwai i roto i te tango waro. Mena kei te tangohia tonutia te pūngao hauwai mai i ngā wahie pūmua (pērā i te waro, te hau māori, me ētahi atu), ka kiia tēnei ko te "hauwai hina", he nui tonu te tukunga waro.
Nō reira, he nui te tumanako i roto i te hanga hauwai, e mōhiotia ana ko te hauwai matomato, mai i ngā pūtake hou.
Hei whakatenatena i te haumitanga a ngā kamupene ki te hauwai matomato, kua titiro te Kotahitanga o Ūropi ki te whakapai ake i te anga ture me te whakatakoto paerewa hangarau mō te hauwai ka taea te whakahou.
I te 20 o Mei, 2022, i whakaputa te Komihana o Ūropi i tētahi tauira ture mō te hauwai ka taea te whakahou, ā, i puta ai he tautohetohe whānui nā tana whakapuakitanga i ngā mātāpono o te noho motuhake, te hiranga o te wā me te whenua i roto i te hanga hauwai matomato.
Kua whakahoutia te pire whakamanatanga. I te 13 o Pēpuere, i whakamanahia e te Kotahitanga o Europi (EU) ētahi ture whakamana e rua e hiahiatia ana e te Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) me te whakatakoto ture taipitopito hei tautuhi i te tikanga o te hauwai whakahou i roto i te EU. E tohu ana te pire whakamanatanga i ngā momo hauwai e toru ka taea te tatau hei pūngao whakahou, tae atu ki te hauwai i hangaia mā te hono tika ki ngā kaihanga pūngao whakahou hou, te hauwai i hangaia mai i te hiko whatunga i ngā rohe he nui ake i te 90 ōrau te pūngao whakahou, me te hauwai i hangaia mai i te hiko whatunga i ngā rohe he iti ngā here tukunga waro hauhā i muri i te hainatanga o ngā whakaaetanga hoko hiko pūngao whakahou.
Ko te tikanga o tēnei ka whakaaetia e te EU ētahi o te hauwai i hangaia i roto i ngā pūnaha hiko karihi kia tatauhia ki tāna whāinga pūngao whakahou.
Ko ngā pire e rua, he wāhanga o te anga ture whānui a te EU mō te hauwai, ka whakarite kia whakaputaina mai i te hiko whakahou ngā "wahie kawe wai me te hau hou katoa o te takenga mai o te kore koiora," arā, RFNBO.
I taua wā anō, ka whakaratohia e rātou he whakapumautanga ture ki ngā kaihanga hauwai me ngā kaipupuri moni ka taea te hoko me te hokohoko i ā rātou hauwai hei "hauwai whakahou" i roto i te EU.
