In 2000, the European Commission initiated the European GreenLight programme, the objective of which is to promote and support energy efficient lighting in the area of services, industry and public lighting. The programme associates partners that have quality but energy efficient lighting on their premises. Since 2006, SEVEn is the coordinator of the New GreenLight project, organising and promoting this project within the framework of eight countries in Central and Eastern Europe, with support of the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme. SEVEn’s role is primarily to ensure operation of the programme in the Czech Republic, and to coordinate its output with the European Commission. An array of information material on energy efficient lighting has been processed and a series of individual negotiations with specific partner programmes has been held within the framework of the project.
