Useful tools and datasets
The Energy and Industry Geography Lab (EIGL) is a tool for geographical data related to energy, industry and infrastructure. The tool makes it possible to find and filter energy-related data, and create and share maps displaying this data.
The focus of the Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) is research in solar resource assessment, photovoltaic (PV) performance studies, and the dissemination of knowledge and data about solar radiation and PV performance.
This mapping exercise is carried out by the JRC on a regular basis and it represents the most comprehensive inventory of Smart Grid projects in Europe. It brings together inputs and feedback from utilities, industry, regulators, research and academia.
