European Energy Centre

European Energy Centre
Established 2010; 1975 with Centro Studi Galileo
Location Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Website www.EUenergycentre.org

The European Energy Centre (EEC) was incorporated in 2010 in Scotland as a private limited company[1]; it has no official links to the European Union. Although its website makes a claim that it was created in 1975, this relates to the Centro Studi Galileo, an affiliated (but legally unconnected) company in Italy that runs a biennial conference on air-conditioning and refrigeration. EEC's focus is on renewable energy training and conference delivery to help develop a workforce capable of installing, repairing and maintaining renewable energy equipment.[2]

The European Energy Centre and Centro Studi Galileo work with the United Nations Environment Programme[3][4] (UNEP)[5] the Intergovernmental International Institute of Refrigeration[6] and Centro Studi Galileo,[7] along with Universities such as Edinburgh Napier University and Heriot-Watt University in promoting the use of renewable energy technologies across the United Kingdom.

The European Energy Centre is also active European-wide[8] with conferences in refrigeration, air conditioning and renewable energy, specifically Heating and Cooling technologies, see the 14th European Conference at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.[9]

The European Energy Centre is also active in India with training courses and conferences[10] with its Indian Partner TERRE Policy Centre.

Main activities of the organisation

  • European conferences organised with the UN (UNEP) on the latest technologies in renewable energy[11]
  • Publications with the United Nations Environment Programme
  • Promotion of best practices in renewable energy through training technicians and personnel
  • Launching the Green New Deal in Europe and India
