Regional energy balance, burden sharing and energy planning
Techne Consulting has recently released the latest version of the module Energy of its system E2Gov for the energy and environmental planning.
The system is functional to:
- Elaborate the regional energy balance based on the scheme used by ENEA in accordance with the scheme Eurostat;
- Elaborate the regional energy balance according to the scheme used by the Ministry of Economic Development in the National Energy Balance;
- Evaluate the cycle of heat (primary heat production, district heating, industrial heat recovery, functional to the evaluation of burden sharing);
- Burden sharing monitoring.
Within the module Projection, the system has a model for the implementation of energy scenarios. The model allows the projection of energy variables (production, transformation, final consumption) in future years in different energy scenarios. A new module for the development of energy balances for future years will also be released soon.
The system is available through a package which includes the provision of the software, support in the implementation of the balance for the first year and support in the following years related to both energy balance updating and energy planning (scenarios implementation).
The system is currently used in Liguria, Piedmont, and Sardinia regions (integrated within the regional environmental information system in collaboration with Engineering spa)
