Euroheat & Power

What Euroheat & Power does

Euroheat & Power, legally structured as Euroheat & Power aisbl (Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif), is a Brussels-headquartered international non-profit association founded in 1954 that serves as the European network for district heating and cooling (DHC). The organisation connects over 160 member organisations — utilities, equipment manufacturers, academic institutions, consultancies, and public authorities — spanning utilities, manufacturers, researchers, and policymakers across Europe and beyond. Its core mission is to promote the decarbonisation of Europe's heating and cooling sector, which accounts for approximately half of EU energy consumption and remains largely fossil-fuel dependent.

The organisation's product portfolio is built around five interrelated pillars: (1) the DHC+ Platform, a research and innovation hub aggregating 60+ stakeholders from academia, research, business, and industry; (2) the annual DHC Market Outlook, the sector's flagship market intelligence publication; (3) the Knowledge Hub, a comprehensive database of DHC resources, academic reports, and research project outcomes; (4) four proprietary certification programmes (EHP001 Straight Pipes, EHP002 Flexible Pipes, EHP003 Steel Valves, EHP004 Eco-efficient Substations) tied to European EN standards and CEN Workshop Agreements; and (5) FundTrack, a member-only service for identifying public funding opportunities. Supporting offerings include EU-funded DHC+ Projects, the DHC+ Summer School, DHC+ Student Awards, and the Crash Course for Cities training programme.

The revenue model is predominantly subscription-based, anchored in annual membership fees differentiated by organisation type (Active Association Member at €7,172.90; DHC+ Platform Member at €8,485.20), supplemented by certification fees, event sponsorship and registration (Euroheat & Power Summit, Congress, Summer School, GeoDH Days), EU project participation funding, and publication sales. The go-to-market is community-led, with acquisition and retention driven by networking events, webinars, knowledge platforms, and EU-funded project participation. The organisation also operates the Bring Heat Home policy advocacy campaign, giving it direct influence on EU-level heating and cooling policy. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• International District Energy Association (IDEA): Global counterpart headquartered in the US, serving district energy utilities, manufacturers, and policymakers worldwide. Co-organises GDECA awards with EHP, has overlapping membership base, and competes for global mindshare in DHC policy and standards.

Regional players

• Svensk Fjärrvärme (Swedish District Heating Association): Swedish national district heating association representing one of Europe's most mature DHC markets. Operates a similar membership, advocacy, and market intelligence model at national level and is a recurring EHP partner and counterpart.
• Dansk Fjernvarme (Danish District Heating Association): Danish national association representing district heating companies and suppliers in another leading DHC market. Comparable association structure, policy advocacy focus, and member services to EHP but at national level.
• DBDH (German District Energy Association): The leading German national association for district heating, representing operators, suppliers, and service companies in Europe's largest DHC market. Closely comparable membership-based association model focused on a single national market.

Others

• Energy Cities: European network of local authorities driving the energy transition at city level. Complementary rather than competing; overlaps with EHP in municipal DHC deployment, training (Crash Course for Cities), and EU policy advocacy on district heating.
• UNEP Cool Coalition: UN-led multi-stakeholder coalition on sustainable cooling. Active partner with EHP on district cooling initiatives (e.g., 'The Cool Future' webinar with Empower) and shares advocacy focus on decarbonising cooling.

Broad incumbents

• REHVA (Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations): European federation of national HVAC associations focused on building-level heating and cooling technologies. Operates a similar membership/knowledge model but targets a broader, more decentralised technology scope than EHP's networked focus.
• Eurelectric: The sector association representing the European electricity industry at EU level. Comparable Brussels-based advocacy and member model, with overlapping interests around sector coupling, electrification of heat, and EU energy legislation.
• EHPA (European Heat Pump Association): Brussels-based European association representing the heat-pump industry, a complementary and partially competing low-carbon heating pathway to district heating. Comparable EU advocacy footprint and member model, but focused on building-level electrification rather than networked heat.
• EGEC (European Geothermal Energy Council): Brussels-based association representing the European geothermal sector, including deep geothermal and shallow ground-source. Co-organises geothermal DHC events with EHP and has highly overlapping membership among European utilities developing geothermal heating.
