European Energy Network, EnR
The European Energy Network, EnR is a voluntary association. It is made up of European organisations having a responsibility for the planning, management or review of national research, development, demonstration or dissemination programmes in the fields of energy efficiency and renewable energy.EnR acts as an informal communication network, providing a first point of contact in Member countries. It is a channel for pan-European technical support to European organisations, eg. the Commission, on matters of energy policy, strategy and programmes.
Working Methods
EnR has no budget and the administration of EnR is in the hands of a yearly rotating Presidency and Secretariat.EnR's activities rely primarily on national resources. However, specific projects within the working groups can receive financial contributions from outside sources, as can major tasks involving the member organisations such as dissemination activities.
EnR Working Groups / Task Forces
EnR has set up various Working Groups where important issues can be discussed in small circles of experts. External organisations and individuals may be invited to join such groups where their expertise can bring added benefits to EnR's work.The present groups consist of the following:
- Central and Eastern Europe Working Group;
- Energy Efficient Appliances and Energy Star Task Force;
- Monitoring Tools for Energy Efficiency Working Group;
- Renewable Energy Working Group; and

EnR members are able to develop the most effective approaches to energy programme management to the benefit of both national and international customers.
