To answer the challenges set in the EU Climate & Energy framework 2030 of an exponential growth of the share of renewable energy including geothermal for the next ten years, a geothermal strategy at EU level must be established.
Registration is now open for the upcoming Cooling Down Webinar, “Renewable Cooling to Answer Climate and Energy Challenges” scheduled for December 11, 2024, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. CET.
The last edition of the “Meet the Members” webinar was a great success! This highly anticipated event took place on 23 October at 10:00 am CEST and offered participants a unique opportunity to connect with leading companies in the geothermal energy sector.
Over 200 stakeholders across the value chain of the geothermal sector, government agencies, municipalities, consumers, academia, researchers, think-tanks and civil society called on the European Commission to prepare a European geothermal energy strategy and action plan.
EGEC welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Commission’s guidelines on designating renewables acceleration areas (RAAs) and highlight the following: Need for a fair evaluation of geothermal-based electricity A higher use of non-price criteria is needed Need for renewable energy auctions by technology Read the full EGEC Response.
