This is the final report of the review study on the Ecodesign Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1253/2014 and Energy Label Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 1254/2014 for ventilation units. It includes an analysis carried out following the MEErP methodology, to propose potential policy optio...
Renewable energy communities (RES communities) are a growing and extraordinarily multifaceted phenomenon which involves a range of possible activities around renewable energy (notably, production, supply, distribution, sharing and consumption) collectively carried out by citizens, often in partn...
The recast of the Electricity Directive (EU) 2019/944 in the Clean Energy Package entitles the European Commission to adopt implementing acts specifying interoperability requirements and non-discriminatory and transparent procedures for access to data. Preparatory work is already ongoing. In thi...
