Weblog of reegle – Information Gateway for Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency

It’s done – the ‘new’ reegle clean energy info portal is online! We worked very hard in the last weeks to launch the new reegle tomorrow alongside the EE-Global in Brussels (say hallo to me if you are there!) and I have to say: It was definitely worth the hard work! One of our most [...]

Energy and Efficiency in the Philippines

Economics are the key driver behind this, and that’s what’s causing the technical barriers to [...]

EU Energy Data – visualised

Eurostat provides free to re-use, open data – which is really useful and even more useful if you put these datasets in a context. The team of the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) did [...]
