The inaugural edition of “Geothermal Power: The Light Under Your Feet” is set to illuminate Brussels, Belgium, on 3 July 2024!
The European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC), in partnership with the French Association of Geothermal Professionals (AFPG), is launching a call for contributions to the Geothermal District Heating and Cooling Days 2024! Taking place in Paris, Europe's vibrant district heating hub, this event promises to be a cornerstone in the transition to geothermal district heating and cooling. Scheduled from 9 to 11 September 2024, the event will bring together experts, researchers and practitioners to exchange views and showcase innovative solutions.
On April 24, Invest-NL, the National Promotional Institute of the Netherlands, released a report to explore opportunities for scaling geothermal energy in the Netherlands. This report, prepared by EGEC and WEP, delves into the geothermal landscape, focusing on key European countries including Germany, Denmark, and France, to provide invaluable insights for the market in the Netherlands.
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. See EGEC factsheet on Auctions to deploy geothermal.

EGEC welcomes the Commission's effort to assess the state of public funding and the capacity of EU countries to increase the uptake of private investment in energy efficiency. We firmly believe that geothermal energy can give a great contribution towards this objective.

SEEnergy, an international conference and trade expo, will be held on May 15 and 17, 2024. Every two years, we will assess the countries of Southeast Europe’s progress in the area of green transition, systematically examine the challenges they face, and encourage discussions on how to overcome them. We will also present recent developments in technology and legislation and offer comparative examples of best practices across countries. The involvement of state agencies, institutions, energy companies, and other stakeholders involved in the organization demonstrates the importance of the green transition in Slovenia.

This webinar will explore the main regulations that should cement geothermal as the ‘go-to’ solution for key consumer markets. The European Union has nearly completed the gargantuan feat of rewriting its entire suit of climate and energy legislation to meet the -55% greenhouse gas reduction target. Geothermal now has many favourable hooks that will drive markets and facilitate greater levels of deployment. Sanjeev Kumar, Head of Policy at the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) will explore the main regulations that should cement geothermal as the ‘go-to’ solution for key consumer markets. He will also outline the significance of the national plans to develop geothermal in Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland and Poland as well as the resolutions passed by the European Parliament and the Committee of Regions (which houses elected mayors and local authority leaders). This should give the industry a new way to talk about geothermal. Learning this language is essential for the industry to become a mainstream solution. Webinar Speaker: Sanjeev Kumar, EGEC Head of Policy Register NOW!

Geothermal energy, known for its consistent and reliable nature, can become a valuable counterpart to intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Geosmart investigates technological and operational aspects, highlighting geothermal’s flexibility benefits to the energy system. Join us as we unveil two demonstration sites showcasing technology tests conducted in Germany and Turkey. Additionally, we will present findings from the comprehensive mapping of geothermal stakeholders in Iceland. This will include insights into their specific needs and preferences concerning flexibility solutions, focusing on the innovative offerings provided by Geosmart. The event is free of charge, open to the public, and will take place at 13:00 on 28th May 2024 at Ríma, Harpa, Reykjavik. Limited seats, first come, first served. More information.
