Odyssee, the European energy efficiency project

ODYSSEE is a leading, user-friendly database that monitors energy consumption, its drivers, and associated CO2 emissions. It also assesses energy efficiency performance and trends across EU countries thanks to advanced indicators. 

The database is updated three times a year through a network of partners and national energy agencies spanning over 37 countries, all part of the ODYSSEE-MURE project.
Enerdata has been a key contributor to this project for over 30 years. 

The project

UE-Life

The project, supported by the European Commission’s LIFE programme, has developed two complementary databases: ODYSSEE and MURE. MURE specifically focuses on the implementation of energy efficiency policies, evaluating their quantitative and qualitative impacts at both national and EU levels.

Key Benefits

Coverage of the 27 EU countries, Switzerland and the Energy Community Contracting Parties (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, and Ukraine)
User-friendly interface for data queries with the latest available data
Detailed energy consumption data and efficiency trends by sector and end-use
Annual series from 1990 onwards
Consistent data for easy country benchmark

How to evaluate energy savings?

To assess energy savings and the impact of energy efficiency policies, policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers can leverage the specific data and policy tools provided by Odyssee and Mure databases. These resources offer access to homogeneous and harmonised energy efficiency trends and policies, categorised by sector and end-uses.

The Odyssee database can provide:

  • Energy efficiency indicators and CO2 data
  • An overall index of energy efficiency by country and sector (ODEX)
  • Energy efficiency gains by sector, sub-sector and end-use, as well as associated energy savings
