EUFORES is an independent, non-profit making organisation that aims to promote the use of renewable energy. EUFORES was established to pursue the target outlined in the 1994 "Declaration of Madrid" - a 15% substitution of conventional primary energy demand by renewable energy sources by 2010. EUFORES and its activities are financed by sponsorships, grants and members' contributions; membership is open to all organisations and individuals relevant to, and which can benefit from, the development of the renewable energy sector.
