Abstract

During the period of July 1-18, 1997, the Association of Energy
Engineers (AEE) conducted its biannual stud y mission to selected Euro-
pean cities and countries. The stud y mission focu sed upon northern
Europe. Mr. Kogut lead an AEE del egation of engineers and profession-
als, which included members of the Cogeneration and Competitive
P ower Institute of AEE. The itinerary included England, Holland, Ger -
man y, Denmark, Sweden, and Norwa y.
Meetin gs were held in London, Amsterdam , Copenhagen ,
Stockholm, and Oslo. AEE delegates were received by various U'S. Em-
ba ssy, local countr y go vernment energy and environmental officials,
ut ility executives, and energy bu siness personnel. The purpo se of the
study mission was to explore and discuss in greater detail subject mat-
ters relating to electric deregulation, cogeneration, district cooling and
heating, energy rates as affected by deregulation, and current ener gy
and en vironmental pol icies set forth by the countries visited.
This article focuses on the 1997 AEE stud y mission and its find-
ing s. The following summarizes meetings conducted at each of the
delineated Europ ean cities. Emphasis has been placed upon various sub-
ject matter s addre ssed, and energy information obtained from each of
the cities and areas visited in England and Scandinavia.
