Held every three years, EGC is the premier event for the European geothermal sector, bringing together 1200+ industry leaders, policymakers, researchers and key stakeholders from across Europe and beyond. This week-long congress fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in the geothermal industry, offering a unique opportunity for hosting organisations to showcase their expertise and leadership in the field.
With a letter to Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Implementation and Simplification Valdis Dombrovskis, EGEC provided its answer to a call for feedback by the Platform on Sustainable Finance on the draft report on preliminary recommendations for the review of the Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and additional technical screening criteria for the EU Taxonomy.
The European Commission ‘Competitiveness Compass’ released on Wednesday 29 January sent the right signal for the Clean Industrial Deal. EGEC supports the initiatives set out for ensuring a competitive energy for people and business. To supply affordable energy, more competition is required on energy markets to supply electricity, heating and cooling, and for storage.
Brussels, 16th December 2024 – The European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) is delighted with the Hungarian Presidency for initiating the proposal and to all Member States for adopting today the Council conclusions.

District heating and cooling networks are one of Europe’s top choices to phase-out fossil fuels in buildings, putting the EU well on track to achieve its climate and energy independence goals. In recent years, unprecedented momentum has built up to support the deployment of this essential energy infrastructure in Europe. Providing 20% of the EU heat demand with district heating and cooling would save 24 billion cubic meters of gas by 2030, representing 32% of the EU’s Russian gas imports in 2022. To achieve this, major investments are needed to build new district heating and cooling systems, gradually introduce clean, renewable heat sources and modernise Europe’s impressive district heating and cooling network infrastructure. It’s no small challenge, but it is above all a huge opportunity for the district heating and cooling industry to expand its markets, to innovate, and to drive the decarbonisation of Europe’s largest energy consuming sector. Time to meet, do business and scale up the heat transition! The 42nd edition of the Euroheat & Power Congress aims to provide our business and local communities with all the tools needed to make this happen. About the Congress: The Euroheat & Power Congress is Euroheat & Power flagship business event. It offers exclusive, high-level perspectives on legislation, business models, technology and market developments shaping the district heating and cooling industry. It brings together over 450 business executives, more than 30 exhibitors, 60+ speakers and local authority representatives from all over Europe. A not-to-be-missed event for companies, start-ups, consultancies and universities active in the heating and cooling industry, and local authorities aiming to accelerate their heat transition! The Euroheat & Power Congress offers exclusive, high-level insights into legislation, business models, technologies, and market trends shaping the industry’s future.
