Report on Open Centralised Training on EnMS+SEAP methodology for EU Municipalities and supporting structures

The 50000&1 SEAPs project has organized two Open Training Sessions addressing key actors - Local Authorities and their supporting structures with the objective of sharing knowledge and providing hands-on support to the set up and implementation of the
EnMS+SEAP approach.
The discussions highlighted how data collection remains a key barrier to be overcome in order to plan appropriately and consistently with a clear baseline. Not only data remain hard to access at an appropriate quality level, but often the cooperation with distribution operators remains simply on a voluntary basis instead of being regulated by law. This results in very diverse panorama through European States.
