Abstract

Community authorities in Europe are tasked to create Advanced Local Energy Plans (ALEP), which encompasses collecting local data on current energy use and generation, as well as generating future development scenarios. Both the data and the development scenarios must be publicly accessible as a basis for energy-related decisions taken by residents, local companies and other local institutions. The data must partially be collected voluntarily -at least in the part regarding residential generation and use. On the other hand - to offer value - the data should be possibly complete. Therefore the need arises to solicit residential input and use of the data. This paper presents a Web2.0 based approach to creating a social environment where residents are willing to exchange energy-related information.
