Energy Policy Platform

This Leonardo ENERGY Community of Practice looks at energy policies and projects that make a difference. These initiatives can be emerging or mature.

As part of its 2007 work programme, a lean framework for impact assessment will be defined, and a number of case studies developed.

For novel initiatives, the platform also develops briefing documents.

Leonardo ENERGY users with a relevant background in the subject are welcome to subscribe to this group. Subscription requests are subject to moderator approval, and will be reviewed based on user profile.
