Project description:

Building on its 30-year history, ODYSSEE-MURE EED “Monitoring the EED-Recast” monitors energy consumption and efficiency trends and evaluates the impact of national energy efficiency policy measures in EU countries, Switzerland and Energy Community countries. The project will specifically support the national implementation and monitoring of key provisions of the revised Energy Efficiency Directive. ODYSSEE-MURE offers a unique platform for researchers and policy makers to access comprehensive data, analytical tools, and expertise on energy efficiency. The project relies on two databases: ODYSSEE displays the latest data on energy demand and 300 energy efficiency indicators by sector, end-use, mode or branch and MURE captures more than 3200 national energy efficiency measures by sector. The project’s innovative flagship products, including the European Energy Efficiency Scoreboard and decomposition tools combined with short-term projections, offer national, regional, and local administrations precious insights to optimise policy implementation and unlock significant energy savings. The project will also introduce or further develop new features such as linking top-down and bottom-up analyses, the role of behavior and energy sufficiency policies in target achievement, and the analysis of Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency Trends and Policies. ODYSSEE MURE EED also places a strong emphasis on capacity building, with a series of seminars and workshops planned to support the development of energy efficiency policies and measures. The project’s results will be widely disseminated through various channels, including a dedicated website, social media, and scientific publications. The project gathers an experienced team comprising a strong Technical Coordination (Fraunhofer ISI, IEECP, Enerdata) and National Teams (mainly energy efficiency agencies). Through its collaborative approach, partnering with the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ECEEE), and international organisations like the Energy Community Secretariat, the ODYSSEE-MURE project fosters a community of over 80,000 users per year, spanning Europe and beyond.
