Energy efficiency, followed by smart grids, e-mobility and wind energy technologies are the key priorities put forward by regions and countries in the smart specialisation strategies in the area of energy, according to a new JRC report.

These common priorities can help regions develop potential cooperation as well as help policy makers define actions plans and maximise the impact of available resources.
