Modelling platform development for new scenarios based on Energy Efficiency First Principle (EEFP)

This report presents the modelling platform for developing energy-efficient scenarios for the countries of the European Union and the United Kingdom (EU27+UK), applying the Energy Efficiency First Principle. The platform consists of a data component and an energy-system analysis component – this report describes both components. Energy-efficient scenarios for the energy system of each country include all the energy sectors including transport, industry and buildings. The main aim of the following energy system modelling and energy system analysis is to balance energy efficiency and renewable energy integration, enabled by the modelling platform described in this report. The energy system scenario results will feed into a Handbook for science-based interaction with policy objectives aimed at achieving the Energy Efficiency First Principle
