New CEN/CENELEC Joint Working Group on Guarantees of origin and Energy certificates
Following the conclusions of a working group on Energy certificates within the CEN-CENELEC Sector Forum on Energy Management and the organisation by CEN and CENELEC of a seminar on 'Guarantees of origin and Energy certificate systems' on the 23 April 2008, SIS (Swedish Standards Institute) submitted a proposal for new standardization work in this area to CEN and CENELEC in December 2009.
The CEN and CENELEC Technical Boards have approved this proposal and as a result a new CEN-CENELEC Joint Working group has been created in April 2010. CEN/CLC/JWG 2 'Guarantees of origin and Energy certificates' will work on European standardization on guarantees of origin for trading and/or disclosure/labelling of electricity and CHP (co-generation of heat and power) and on energy certificates.
The first meeting of this Joint Working Group took place in Brussels on 23 June 2010. For further information you may contact Ms Maitane Olabarria Uzquiano, CEN Programme Manager.
