Since the publication of the Commission’s proposal to revise the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), EFIEES has been closely following the debates on this file, and especially the current trilogue discussions. Among others, we welcome the inclusion of waste heat and cold within the indicative RES target for the building sector, proposed by both the Council and the Parliament. Yet, we believe that Member States should also be able to count waste heat towards the annual increase of renewable energy sources to be set for the industry sector.
