"Energy data is crucial for identifying trends in the economic priority sectors to target energy policies and to ensure energy efficiency improvements and increased renewable energy deployment. These measures can then be built in to sustainable energy policies and plans, and their national and local implementation progress can be monitored periodically.

The Data Access Guidebook for Sustainable Energy Action Plans has been developed for:

TIMES (The Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System) is an economic model generator for local, national or multi -regional energy systems, which provides a technology-rich basis for estimating energy dynamics over a long-term. It is applied to the analysis of the energy sector, but may also applied to study in detail single sectors. Reference case estimates of end-use energy service demands are provided by the user for each region.

Urban energy planning

The MEU project has as objective to develop and test a web tool that precisely meets the needs of planners of urban energy systems. This project helped put together the academic partners, as well as four Swiss cities.

Implemented by: Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur

LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System)- software tool for energy policy analysis and climate change mitigation assessment.  LEAP is an integrated, scenario-based modeling tool that can be used to track energy consumption, production and resource extraction in all sectors of an economy. 

Capacity building of local government to take action regarding climate change and energy sources - from planning and action monitoring - is the primary goal of this tool. Capacity Covenant assumes development of communities powered by renewable energy across Europe. This support helps create chains of added value at regional level through improving energy efficiency and using renewable local energy sources.

Tool developed within the framework of the Ile-de-France region's support missions on improving regional energy knowledge, to better understand data on consumption and production of energy.
This new indicator developed by the ARENE translates energy consumption data into monetary data (euro), in order to analyze the economic impact of energy consumption.
 

The "shared energy advice' is a specific to small and medium-sized communities service which is to share the energy of a specialized technician skills. This helps communities lacking sufficient internal resources to implement an energy policy under control, and to take concrete action on their heritage to achieve savings.

This tool is intended for the municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants. The benefits of the shared energy (CEP) consulting :

The Ile-de-France regional climate, air and energy plan (SRCAE) is the reference document for local authorities wishing to act on their territory.

The SRCAE is a strategic document that sets out the objectives for: energy efficiency, renewable energy development, improving air quality and adapting to climate change.

Provides a financial transposition of energy consumption data across territories + sectoral studies for a more detailed analysis.
Allows a better understanding of the energy impacts of tertiary businesses in the Île-de-France region ; estimates energy savings potential and the potential cost of consuming less.
