At the fourth stakeholder forum of the ePLANET project, participants discussed the new data platform tool. The tool will ease and speed up the SECAP drafting and monitoring process, enable the analysis of buildings' energy performance, and facilitate better planning of energy communities.

In the effort to meet the targets of the energy transition, coordination between local authorities and regional governments is imperative. A significant element of this cooperation involves data sharing. The ePLANET project enables massive data gathering by making data widely available and comparable, and then by analysing this data to provide precise knowledge for the benefit of key stakeholders.

The ePLANET project is working in three pilot regions: Zlín (Czechia), Girona (Spain), and Crete (Greece). The project has four objectives, specifically:

1. To develop a harmonised data-sharing platform (described below);
2. To create a database of energy transition plans and measures (to support the regional transition and decision-making process);
3. To develop a collaborative framework that drives the development and updating of energy transition plans;
4. To develop a new clustering governance based on harmonised information, that improves decision-making.
