On June 20th 2012, during the Sustainable Energy Week, the Renewable Energy House, where also EGEC operates from, will open its doors to visitors.

We welcome you to come and meet the associations representing the European renewable energy sector, ask your questions, attend their presentations and learn how an ambitious energy concept was implemented in a historical building so as to use only renewable energy sources for heating, cooling, and electricity. You can find more information and register to the event here.

Icelandic National Energy Authority in cooperation with GEORG will lead an EU geothermal research program across eight countries with a total grant provided of $2.6 million as part of the Geothermal ERA-NET grant program by the European Commission. The Icelandic National Energy Authority, Rannis and eight European Energy Agencies receive a grant of about 2 million Euros from the European Union to support the development of Geothermal in Europe.

Hosted by MEP Béla Glattfelder a round table discussion “More than hot air: why geothermal heat pumps are essential to increasing renewable heating and cooling in the Mediterranean” will take place in Brussels on 15 May 2012 during the RHC-Platforms Renewable Heating and Cooling Week at the European Parliament. Please see the invitation for more information.

From 14 to 16 May 2012, the RHC Platform will organise the first Renewable Heating and Cooling Week will take place at the European Parliament in Brussels. The full programme will include exhibitions on Renewable Heating and Cooling technologies, a policy event and a workshop on Heat Pumps.
