EREN,
Ente Regional de la Energia de Castilla y León, was grounded in 1996
(Law 7/1996) by the regional government and in the framework of the
Save Programme, as an energy managing organism at a regional level,
aimed to develop the most appropriate regional energy policy, always
following the guidelines established by the European Union's energy
policy, on the basis of its main three principles: security of
energy supply; competitiveness and, environmental protection.
The European partnership was established with ARELVT-Agencia
Regional de Energia de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo (Portugal) and Skane
Energy Agency (Sweden).
EREN was established as a tool for the Castilla y León's economic
and social representatives of facing up to these questions related
to the SME's and citizens energy efficiency, at the same moment
promoting the renewable energies use and the energy saving
endefficiency and, developing the region great energy potential,
always taking into the best consideration the
|
environmental balance, contributing to the regional sustainable
development.
The
organisation is composed by a Board of Administration, an Advisory
Committee and a Managing Director, which conduct and report the
actions developed by EREN as well as its internal functioning, make
up by a high specialised and qualified staff divided into three main
departments: Energy Saving and Efficiency, Renewable Energies and,
External Relations, Training and Education Department.
Actions carried out by EREN in the energy field are focused to
promote the energy saving an the exploitation of our renewable
energy sources, promoting the regional companies competitiveness and
the citizens quality of life, what contributes direct1y to the
global economic development of the region.
It
is therefore that EREN implements activities and designs initiatives
in the following areas: |
