AbstractThis paper explores the content of various web based information systems which presents knowledge about energy technology, energy research, energy projects best practice, energy related statistics and energy patents. As the number and complexity of issues related with energy are very broad, it is essential the use of information systems. Evaluating sources of information is an important step in any research activity. This study also shows that system design depends must more from the original objective of websites creation and target groups of users. A positive finding from user expectations is information free access and in some cases only requiring free registration. This paper discusses a new approach must be studied to diminish content dispersion and significant differences between European energy related sites
