1st EU Roundtable opened discussions
The 1st European Roundtable under the project MESHARTILITY took place in Brussels on 23 May 2013.
21 participants from the European Commission, municipalities and their associations, from energy suppliers and their associations, regulators, and a Covenant of Mayors office met for a full day of presentations and discussions covering many issues on energy consumption data sharing in order for municipalities to establish their local community Baseline Emissions Inventory (BEI).
The viewpoints of municipalities and energy suppliers were heard and common ground was sought as a basis for developing agreements to assist future energy data sharing. Energy suppliers would like to see data requests in a clear and consistent format in order to minimize duplicity and time and effort spent on administration, while municipalities are mainly concerned with receiving better data quality and in a format segregated into customer sectors.
This highly successful first European Roundtable will now be followed by two rounds of national roundtables in each of the project countries, before a 2nd and final European Roundtable will conclude discussions.
