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.

Energy Generation and Distribution
The slowdown of renewable energy deployment is a concern and needs to be avoided in the time the EU is aiming higher shares of renewables in 2030. Through a cost-optimal approach the EU ought to double in 2030 the current share of renewables in electricity sector.
