The Forum has been organised by SenterNovem under the authority of the European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy and Transport and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs.

The Forum’s objectives are: 

• To develop the European Union’s energy policy in a way that contributes to the objectives of sustainability, increased competitiveness and security of supply. 
• To provide opinions on any Commission’s initiative in the field of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy efficiency ((EE), including transport) policies. The basis for the work of the Forum would be the different directives and Commission documents on these topics. 
• To serve as an observatory and monitoring assistance centre for those policies. 
• To help facilitate the interaction and integration of RES/EE in concrete applications in supply and demand. 
• To help define corrective measures to solve the problems/concerns associated to the RES access to the grid. 
• To assist the Commission in organising and analysing debates and other not above mentioned actions in the framework of RES/EE policies.                           

The Forum is expected to provide the Commission with opinions and/or reports at the request of the Commission.
