Introduction to DATA4ACTION

Foster collaboration models in energy data exchange between public

authorities and energy data providers for sustainable energy planning

at regional and local levels

Explore ways to improve public authorities access to energy data for better

implementation and monitoring of SEAPs.

Mobilize public authorities and energy data providers and

facilitate their cooperation in establishing or developing regional

energy observatories

Support knowledge transfer and replication

Demonstrate data exchange collaboration models ‘in

action’ in the partner regions

About the creation of regional observatories

Partnership management

Data management

Data dissemination and use

Capacity building of the regional observatories and Local Authorities

Energy transport data for Baseline and Monitoring of Emissions Inventories

Progress Based Indicators for SEAP monitoring

Energy data quality analysis and communication

Technical subjects addressed

Drivers for advanced collaboration

models Public authorities facing difficulties in accessing local and accurate energy community data for SEAPs

(planning, implementation and monitoring)

– need to interface with multiple data providers

Barriers to Regional & Local community data exchange:

Data ownership, commercial sensitivity, privacy, data accuracy, data access

Lack of energy data management skills within some public authorities

New paradigm for energy companies (DSOs, TSOs, ESCOs,..)

Energy market liberalisation

Develop strong commercial relationship with local public authorities

Propose new services

Need to plan their investment for infrastructure and need forecast data!

Comply with regulatory framework for data (EED and Inspire directives)

Win-Win collaboration models

Established between public authorities and energy data providers across Europe

Bi-lateral agreements

Multi-lateral agreement: 3rd party: regional data centre or

« observatory »

Gathering and processing data from several sources

Providing energy and GHG emissions data to public

authorities

What services do they offer? (1/2) Provide energy and GHG emissions data to public authorities for SEAPs planning, implementation and monitoring:

Baseline Emissions Inventory (production, final energy consumption, GHG emissions)

MEI Monitoring Emissions Inventory

Progress Based Indicators

Energy flow diagrams for a territory (Sankey),..

Set up partnership schemes with multiple energy data

providers at national, regional and local levels

Coordinate the consortium and manage the legal aspects

What services do they offer? (2/2)

Provide technical data management services:

Facilitate data access, processing, modelling, data accuracy,

aggregate data,..

Use methodologies for accounting GHG emissions

based on International standards

Communicate local data to public authorities and

general public:

Website: energy climate profile, data in excel formate and GIS formate

Specific demand

How do they operate? More than 30 regional energy and GHG emissions data centres across Europe:

• Structures governed by a local consortium involving several data providers and public

authorities (advanced collaboration models)

• Supported by regional level public authorities (CoM territorial coordinators: Liguria/IT,

Norrbotten/SE, Basque/ES, ..)

• Often integrated within existing regional organizations (energy agencies, public authority,

combined with existing local monitoring organizations such as air quality)

• Technical skills in sustainable energy planning, data gathering, analysing and processing,

partnership management, energy planning

• Provide community data and data services to public authorities free of charge

Existing European network:

Benefits Provide « one-stop shop » services to public authorities

Develop data processing and management skills at regional and local levels contributing to better and more efficient data management processes:

data accuracy, data modelling, data access, data dissemination, data comparison from year to year (historical data), Inspire compliance,etc..

Implement bottom up approaches complementing existing data exchange processes Surveys Energy Management Systems

Mobilize key regional and local stakholders in a joint initiative (RA, LA, Energy utility companies,..)

Ensure coherence of local plans with regional/national objectives and plans (in sustainable

energy but also in other areas such as air quality)

Success factors

Institutional support (regional and local authorities) Governance mechanisms following good governance principles:Transparency, Participation,Accountability, Effectiveness and Coherence Technical skills Communication strategy
