REFEREE

About the project

The REFEREE project provides essential support to EU energy stakeholders at all levels of governance by quantifying the direct and indirect societal benefits of energy interventions. This initiative has made significant strides in establishing energy efficiency as the primary fuel, thus advancing the desired energy transition.

Discover the REFEREE Policy Assessment Tool

At the core of REFEREE’s success lies our innovative Policy Assessment Tool. Grounded in a scientifically robust macroeconomic model, this tool is designed to revolutionize how policymakers, businesses, and public institutions approach energy investments. By delivering comprehensive insights into the multifaceted benefits of energy measures, the REFEREE Tool enables informed decision-making that fosters socio-economic, environmental, and health-related gains.

Unlock Powerful Insights and Strategic Advantages

The REFEREE Policy Assessment Tool is your key to unlocking powerful insights into the real value of energy efficiency. It meticulously analyzes and quantifies both the direct and indirect non-energy impacts of energy investments over the long term (up to 2050), supporting decision-makers at various governance levels – from local to European. Whether you are formulating national policies or local action plans, the REFEREE Tool equips you with the data and foresight needed to optimize energy strategies and achieve cost-effective sustainability.

Utilising this tool, national authorities can strategise effectively, ensuring that their energy policies align with the European Union’s goals for sustainability and climate neutrality.

Local Policy Assessment Tool

Tailored for local governance, the Local Policy Assessment Tool has been instrumental in aiding municipalities across Europe to develop over 45 Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs). This intuitive tool allows local governments to simulate the impact of energy efficiency policies on local energy consumption, budget allocations, and socioeconomic outcomes.
