- Abstract
The European Union has set ambitious targets for energy efficiency to promote energy sustainability and decarbonisation of energy systems by introducing performance indicators that can be used in different contexts at international, national or regional level. In particular, the macroeconomic indicator of Electrical Intensity (EI) and Sustainable Electrical Intensity (SEI) can be used to measure energy performance on different scales, to identify the amount of energy used per unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), thus providing a picture of sustainability in economic and spatial terms. To support just urban and territorial policies that can have a positive effect not only on GDP, more generally on the fair and sustainable wellbeing of a community, the complexity of the EI index and SEI index must be addressed by assessing the impacts of energy efficiency interventions and the development of renewable energy installations. The aim of the paper is to develop a comparative approach between Italian spatial distribution of the total electricity consumption (by EI index) and the total renewable electrical consumption (by SEI index) with a dataset of BES indicators - Equitable and Sustainable Well-being - to evaluate of the just electric transition.
