Use case: climate and energy package,to implement the 20-20-20 targets
• regions and local authorities have a leading role • national energy and GHG data are not accurate or
comprehensive enough• regional and local strategies need to be informed
by relevant data (local/regional source)• regional Observatories of energy and GHG
emissions turn data into information• need standardisation amongst observatories, in
order to enable comparisons between European territories
What can INSPIRE do for you ?
• As a consortium of public authority organisations (or acting on their behalf) have the 'right' to get access and use identified spatial data under INSPIRE scope (34 data themes, electronic…)
• Across borders and levels of administration – on request or through web-services (when implemented)
• INSPIRE services enable you to 'discover' data sources and their use conditions (meta data) and to view and 'download' data
What can you do for INSPIRE ?
• Regional Observatories produce spatial data/information on energy and GHG
• Such data falls under INSPIRE• Should be documented• Should have INSPIRE compliant data policy
(between public authorities – with public)• Should be 'modelled' according to INSPIRE data
specs – with use case specific extensions• Should be made accessible through
discover/view/download services
INSPIRE and data produced by ENERGee Watch Observatories
• Final energy consumption (MWh / inhabitant)• Greenhouse gases emissions (teqCO2 /
inhabitant)• Renewable energy production (GWh)• Energy intensity -
Industrial/Residential/Tertiary/Regional economy (kWh /…)
• State in reaching EU 20-20-20 targets (%)
What does the Theme 20 ‘Energy sources’ mean exactly?
• In Directive Annex III. - 20. Energy resources• Energy resources including hydrocarbons,
hydropower, bio-energy, solar, wind, etc., where relevant including depth/height information on the extent of the resource.

What does the Theme 20 ‘Energy sources’ mean exactly?
• In data specifications• Energy resources theme provides models for
energy potential – resources (non-renewable. renewable + waste) for past resources, current and future ones. The use = consumption is not the primary goal
• Energy intensity - Industrial/Residential/Tertiary/Regional economy: not in the Energy Resources or EMF. Production facilities, Governmental services, Agricultural & aquaculture facilities relates to the facilities that produce and/ or consume energy as well. It may be related with Land use
• Does the Theme 7 ‘Environmental monitoring Facilities’ includes observations of GHG emissions?
• YES
• Does the Theme 7 ‘Environmental monitoring Facilities’ includes model output of GHG emissions?
• NO, but other themes do
Can Observatories make use of INSPIRE to have better access to certain data ? (e.g data from Theme 8 ‘Production and Industrial Facilities’)
• INSPIRE data policy does not cover 'private sector data'
• However, if private sector 'reports' under thematic legislation to public authority, PA, then this data should be 'shareable' with other public authority
• 'custodian' PA should have INSPIRE 'services' which observatories can 'connect' to input side of models
INSPIRE roadmap
• 03-Dec-2013, 6(b): “Metadata available for spatial data sets and services corresponding to Annex III”
• by 21-Oct-2015, 7§3, 9(b) Newly collected and extensively restructured Annex II and III spatial data sets available
How to ensure that ENERGee Watch Observatories are INSPIRE-compliant?
• Participate to national and EU co-ordination actions• Propose workshop INSPIRE 2014 conference• Propose via national contact 'action' in INSPIRE
Maintenance & Implementation work plan
• Have INSPIRE compliant data policy• Document – create meta data• Use the relevant INSPIRE data models• Establish INSPIRE compliant web-services
