On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.
The E3P among other tasks facilitates the practical implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive at national, regional and local levels, with data collection and analysis. The E3P also supports the exchange of experiences on practices, benchmarking, networking activities, as well as innovative practices.
