The Interreg MED Renewable Energy Community is one of the 8 thematic community created by the Interreg MED programme, to collect, promote, and capitalise all the results and outcomes from the projects under the topic of Renewable Energy. The Renewable Energy Community of the Interreg MED programme is active since 2016 and includes 9 projects, dedicated to microgrids, energy storage systems, sustainable energy planning of territories, forest biomass in protected areas, sustainable energy transition project planning and local fiscal policies to support energy transition at local level.
Since its beginnings, the Interreg MED Renewable Energy Community has focused on research and data collection. In order to give a geographic visualisation of the data, we created several maps, also related to socio-economic indicators, allowing to open the topic of Renewables from a social point of view. Interreg MED Renewable Energy Community established the present WebGIS as a tool to collect, manage and disseminate transnational information on topics of interest for the Community. The main aim of the WebGIS is to present the community and its activities, to represent the collected data and to allow the creation of debates based on the latest as well as to foster integration among MED countries in the renewable energy sector.
The Interreg MED Renewable Energy Community WebGIS enables the management, visualisation and dissemination of the north shore of the MED area data collected in the scope of the Renewable Energy Community’s activities. The WebGIS focuses primarily on geospatial information (layers and maps) but it also includes documents, datasets and much more, all related to the Renewable energy topic and the Renewable Energy Community activities and members.
