D5.7 – Follower Regions Evaluation Questionnaire

The ePLANET project is a Coordination and Support Action cofounded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 program. ePLANET aims to deploy a new clustering governance for an energy transition based on a digital framework to share harmonized information, facilitating the adoption of coordinated energy transition actions by the European public sector. The improvements in the multi-level governance and the developed energy data visualization will be designed and implemented together with three regions: Girona region in Spain (DDGI), Zlín region in the Czech Republic (EAZK) and Crete Island in Greece (RDFC). Within this document (deliverable 5.7 “Follower Regions Evaluation Questionnaire”) the process, the methodology, and the results of the need survey are explained and the links to other activities within the project are highlighted. The results of the need survey will serve as the basis for the implementation of the joint exchange activities and the support activities for the follower regions. The report is structured in three sections. The first section introduces the report and sets the frame for the activities. The second section describes the methodology and results of the need survey and the third one shows the matchmaking approach between pilot and follower regions. The conclusions of the need survey for follower regions result in the final matching and the proposed joint activities displayed in Table 1
