Energy efficiency: platforms & networks

The International Energy Agency (IEA) covers energy efficiency topics (among many others). It publishes frequently market reports and market indicators on global developments in the area of energy efficiency.

The Energy Efficiency Watch - Initiative and Project is a European organisation that established a constant feedback loop on the implementation of European and national energy efficiency policies and thus enable mutual learning on effective policy making across the EU. The website provides key policy conclusions and case studies among others.

The Energy Efficiency Finanical Institutions Group (EEFIG) Underwriting Toolkit is designed to assist financial institutions to scale up their deployment of capital into energy efficiency projects. The toolkit was developed by many different companies and organizations from the sector. The objectives of the toolkit are e.g. to help staff in financial institutions to better understand the nature of energy efficiency projects and therefore better evaluate both their value and the risks; and to promote a common language between different stakeholders (e.g. project developers, project owners and financial institutions).

The De-risking Energy Efficiency Platform (DEEP) is an open-source initiative from the European Union. The aim is to up-scale energy efficiency investments in Europe through the improved sharing and transparent analysis of existing projects in buildings and industry. The platform is available in different languages (EN, ES, FR, DE etc.). You need to create an account to access the platform.
