D6.6 Policy recommendations at EU level

ePLANET project is a Coordination and Support Action cofounded by the European Commission through Horizon 2020 program. ePLANET aims to deploy a new clustering governance for energy transition based on a digital framework to share harmonised information, facilitating the adoption of coordinated energy transition actions by the European public sector.
The document gives an overview of the current policies and regulations for energy transition in the EU and provides 4 key recommendations to improve it at EU level. These recommendations have been meticulously developed based on the extensive experience and insights gained throughout the project execution. This process involved close cooperation with technicians and experts working on Energy Transition (ET) initiatives across Europe. By leveraging the practical knowledge and firsthand observations of these professionals, we have been able to identify key areas for improvement and propose actionable strategies to enhance policy frameworks. The goal is to create more effective, cohesive, and forward-looking policies that support and accelerate the Energy Transition across all member states.
Finally, the report presents an overview of a survey to pilot and regional partners, offering their perspectives on the management of energy transition plans, the role of regional technicians, the significance of data governance and sharing tools, and the specific needs for reducing emissions as part of the EU policy recommendations.
