HISTORY

The centre was founded on the basis of the Energy Centre of the European Union that worked within the bounds of Tacis program in Yekaterinburg city from 1995 till 1999.

In January 1999 it was registered as The Ural Centre for Energy Efficiency and Environment.

Founders: The Administration of Yekaterinburg city; MFF-Innotek (Germany), The leader of Tacis project consortium Since 2004, after purchasing the share of German part, The Ural Centre for Energy Efficiency and Environment became the Russian company. On the bases of energy centers of Yekaterinburg, Perm, Tyumen, Tchelyabinsk, Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk which took part in Tacis program The International Association of Energy Centers was found with the executive power ln Yekaterinburg.

UCEE is: • a corporate member of The International Academy of Ecology and Life Protection Sciences (St. Petersburg) • an expert of the World Bank in the sphere of realization of Kyoto Protocol mechanisms
