What is evaluation about?
To know how successful your local energy policy is you need to evaluate the impacts it may have on energy saving, energy neutrality and your community’s sustainable development.
Evaluation particularly with respect to local sustainable development is a complex process, as it requires a lot of information and different tools to assess different types of impacts, such as environmental, social, economic and institutional. In order to facilitate improvements and results accounting it, evaluation needs to be performed at different stages, that is when you set up your local energy plan ( ex ante evaluation), while you are implementing your local energy plan (on going evaluation) and when you have completed your local energy plan (ex post evaluation).
To help you with your evaluation process RURENER has created a dedicated, user-friendly tool which you can use with little adjustment for ex ante, on going and ex post evaluations. So start measuring the impacts of your local action plan and see how successful your local energy policy is!
The local action plans of the RURENER pilots have been evaluated to measure their global impacts. Please find here the full report.
