Euroheat & Power Mid-Year Review
As we approach the summer holidays, it’s always nice (and important) to look back on the semester that’s been and consider the challenges and opportunities in front of us between now and Christmas. From EHP’s perspective, it’s been a very rewarding first half of 2016. The heating and cooling strategy, the culmination of several years of concerted advocacy led by our industry, definitively established heating and cooling as a significant field of EU energy policy, and helped achieve our long-held ambition to give DHC a strong profile in the Brussels energy debate. The Secretariat has welcomed some bright new talent and continued to strengthen our relationships and operational cooperation with our membership. With all this in mind, we can look forward to what will be an exciting 2nd half of the year with confidence and ambition.
In October 2016, we expect the publication of a new package of energy efficiency legislation which will play an important role in establishing the future business environment in which our industry will operate. Though lobbying is never easy and the only certainty is that we will not always get everything we want, we are convinced that our capacity to influence decisions is greater than ever before. Moreover, after a period of relatively limited regulatory activity since the renewal of the European Commission and Parliament in 2014, we are very much looking forward to the opportunity to sink our collective teeth into some high profile policy files. Needless to say, our success will to a large extent be determined by our ability to involve and engage you, the members, in this process. We look forward to fighting alongside you to protect and advance our industry’s interests. In that spirit, we hope you’ll be able to join us in Brussels for District Energy Days on 11-12 October where we’ll gather together policy-makers, DHC specialists and the wider EU stakeholder community to explore how our industry can help deliver a better energy model for Europe. Don’t miss it! In the meantime, let’s all take a little time to breathe and enjoy a much-deserved rest.
Have a great summer!
