The project has now come to an end and the tools, publications and resources we have developed are all available on the Publications section of this website.
With the great number of energy policies and action plans implemented all over Europe (regional, local Sustainable Energy Action Plans – SEAPs…) and the increasing need of accurate energy data for sustainable energy planning and monitoring, the problem of overall energy data sharing at sub-national levels arose and was the main focus of the DATA4ACTION project.
The general purpose of DATA4ACTION was the establishment of long-term data exchange models in sustainable energy planning, through a cooperation between public authorities and energy data providers. Long-term collaboration models were implemented through bilateral data exchange cooperation agreements and with the development of twelve regional observatories, representing more than six thousand municipalities.
