On 14 December 2021 the Commission adopted the Delegated Regulation on a method for calculating the quantity of renewables in cooling and district cooling. This Regulation has the aim to strengthen the harmonisation between Member States on the methodology used to calculate renewable cooling and how much of it contributed to their overall renewable targets.

Between 28 October and 25 November 2021 the Commission held a consultation round for stakeholders to comment on the draft text, in total 11 stakeholders responded. It will now undergo a 2-month review period in the Europan Parliament and by the Council before it will enter effectively into force.
