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.
Policies and Targets
Energy Generation and Distribution
European energy policy has developed rapidly in the last decade, and energy conservation has become a recognized indispensible tool and one of the most straightforward solutions to a number of challenges, such as the threat of global climate change, energy security challenges, financial and environmental pressure on the society and the individual.

Energy Generation and Distribution
The need to integrate higher shares of renewables in the EU energy sector brings into discussion the way the renewable technologies/sources have been supported to date. Support schemes are currently the major drivers for investment in the EU electricity sector, while investments in grid assets are driven mainly by regulation that guarantees investors a reasonable return on equity.
