The CEN Workshop on was kicked off on 31st March 2025. The Workshop’s registered participants have agreed on the first draft of the CWA.
A new CEN-CENELEC Workshop is being planned which will complement the activities of the EU Research project HYSTORE (Hybrid Services from Advanced Thermal Energy Storage Systems). The mission of this project is to develop and validate an innovative set of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) concepts, based on the combination of cutting-edge technology components, unlocking the potential of this kind of energy storage as a sustainable solution.
EUBsuperhub is a European project funded by the European Union's H2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101033916. The project supports the evolvement of the certification process in Europe by the development of a scalable methodology to view, assess and monitor the buildings through their lifecycle, in a virtual marketplace.
The CEN and CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 14 ‘Energy management and energy efficiency in the framework of energy transition’ announces the publication of the new standard EN 17669:2022 ‘Energy Performance Contracts-Minimum requirements’ developed by their Working Group 4 ‘Energy financial aspects’.
On 13 September 2022, CEN and CENELEC officially became signatories of the Equality Platform for the Energy sector. Through this endorsement, CEN and CENELEC pledge to support the efforts towards promoting equal opportunities in the European energy sector.
Today, 26 September, marks the official start of the EU Sustainable Energy Week 2022, “Going green and digital for Europe’s energy transition”. On this occasion, CEN and CENELEC further affirm their commitment to developing standards that help ensure a sustainable energy future for Europe.
CEN-CLC/JTC 14 ‘Energy management and energy efficiency in the framework of energy transition’ (JTC 14) just published new EN 17463 ‘Valuation of Energy related investments (VALERI)’. The standard is an important breakthrough in the developing field of “green finance”, and it was the result of the efforts of many European experts invested in this work during the difficult time of the pandemic.
At the core of the European Green Deal lies the ambition to make Europe the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050. As the latest development in this sector, on 14 July the European Commission adopted a package of proposals to make the EU's policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and make Europe climate neutral by 2050. Energy efficiency is one of the pillars of the Green Deal, articulated trough the improvement of the energy performance of buildings and the increased use of renewable energies.
The CEN-CENELEC workshop on ‘Modular and cross-cutting Power Take-Off units for wave energy converters. Interface mechanical requirements and laboratory testing’ was kicked-off on 10 August 2020.
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an important building block in installing a secure, competitive and sustainable energy system.
