On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.
European ESCO Conference 2022
Given the challenge and urgency to reach the 2030 climate target and climate neutrality by 2050 and the very high energy prices, energy efficiency is the win-win solution.
Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) are a major suppliers/implementer of energy efficiency solutions in particular in large projects in buildings, facilities and production plans (see).
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) is a specific delivery mechanisms of energy efficiency solutions by ESCOs (see).
The ESCOs and EPC industry in Europe still faces barriers and it has not yet reached its full potential (see).
The European ESCO conference was started in 2003 in Milan (here) and then was held in Austria, Czech Republic, Belgium, France, Portugal, Denmark, UK, Spain, with the last edition was held again in Milan 2015 (here). The ESCO conference was the event to share information on the ESCO industry.
This year the European ESCO Conference 2022 will be organised again in Frankfurt on 5th of October during the Light+Building exhibition.
At the conference the EnPC markets in European countries will be presented, focusing on barriers and enablers, successful examples of implemented project, financing and accounting rules.
Focus will also include the renovation of public buildings, street lighting and the provision of integrated services including demand flexibility and renewables.
The conference will be in presence and it will start at 9.30 and will ends at 17.30.
There will not be registration fees.
