One of the main challenges to achieving the Energy Transition objectives was improving coordination between local authorities and regional governments to optimize the decision-making process, coherence, and consistency in the implementation of energy transition measures in towns and cities. The platforms used by EU local authorities to manage the Energy Transition were heterogeneous, leading to a loss of information and difficulties in sharing data and engaging communities.

ePLANET focused on the deployment of a new clustering governance model for the energy transition based on a digital framework to share harmonized information.

ePLANET facilitated and streamlined the implementation of coordinated energy transition actions by the public sector. The project used the most innovative tools in artificial intelligence and big data, along with an innovative clustering governance model, to boost Energy Transition Plans at the municipal level. Additionally, it fostered the digitalization of energy data available in dispersed data sources, energy transition measures, and Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs), enabling the creation of an ecosystem of data and tools to support decision-making in the energy transition.
