EUSALP Energy Survey 2017 – The Alpine macro-region in numbers

Summary:

Reliable energy data are the basis for decision-makers to define, to implement and to monitor the effectiveness of energy policies. In order to implement a well-informed macro-regional energy strategy that responds to the needs and challenges of the territory, Action Group 9 developed the EU Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) Energy Survey that collects information about regional and national energy data aggregating them to macro-regional data and compared medium and long-term policy goals defined by the functional units in the EUSALP territory The survey 2017 consisted of 29 questions about energy production, consumption, energy strategies, policy goals and their state of implementation and (perceived) remaining potentials for the expansion of renewable energy sources in the macro-region. The Institute for Renewable Energy of Eurac Research (EURAC) carried out the collection and analysis of the collected data. The findings of the study are illustrated in short in this publication.
