Nordsyn

Nordsyn is a working group that aims to strengthen Nordic cooperation and policy development in energy efficiency, with a particular focus on ecodesign, energy labelling and related regulations.

Working group objectives

The working group aims to:

  • Promote cost-effective energy savings
  • Support the implementation of EU ecodesign and energy labelling regulations
  • Strengthen Nordic cooperation on market surveillance and enforcement
  • Develop common Nordic positions to contribute to EU policy revisions and new legislation
  • Help minimise unnecessary burdens on consumers and businesses

Background and focus

The EU’s ecodesign and energy labelling framework plays an important role in reducing energy consumption and climate impact by setting efficiency standards for energy-related and other products. Nordic collaboration supports knowledge exchange, strengthens implementation and market surveillance, and enables coordinated input to EU processes.

On behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Energy Research provides secretariat support for Nordsyn.
