Technology Capacity Assessment Tool for Developing City Action Plans to Increase Efficiency in Mid-sized Cities in Europe

Abstract Transition towards energy efficient cities requires an effective upgrade of all the different areas of urban energy production, distribution and use. The paper presents a method for collecting the information required for analysing the technical variation of strengths and weaknesses in infrastructure capabilities in European medium-sized cities, as well as to help identify best practices and tools for enhancing the energy performance of city energy systems.
