Dutchman Hans Grünfeld is to be named as the new chairman of the European lobby organisation for industrial energy users IFIEC today. He will remain director of the Dutch association for commercial power uses, VEMW.
The IFIEC represents 15 national organisations. Its aim is to strengthen the competitive position of energy-intensive industries.
‘The lack of competition on European energy markets remains a structural problem for the energy-intensive industries. In particular there are concerns over the security of supplies, a lack of energy pricing data and the vertical integration of supply companies,’ Grünfeld said in a statement.
