De-risking Energy Efficiency Platform (DEEP)

DEEP - the De-risking Energy Efficiency Platform (https://deep.ec.europa.eu/)  - is the European Commission’s open-source database for energy efficiency investment performance. DEEP is the largest pan-EU open-source database containing detailed technical and financial performance data of over 89,400 industrial and building-related energy efficiency projects. DEEP is a source of operational risk management benchmark, which helps project developers, financiers and investors to better assess the risks and benefits of energy efficiency investments across Europe.

The European Energy Efficiency Financing Coalition (the Coalition) is an initiative of the European Commission, bringing together EU Member States, Financial Institutions and other relevant stakeholders, to identify actions to concretely improve private financing for energy efficiency. The objectives of the Coalition are to create a favourable market environment for energy efficiency investments and to scale up the private financing needed in energy efficiency to help achieve the EU’s energy and climate targets for 2030 and 2050. The Coalition’s work aligns with the objectives of the Energy Efficiency Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, thus supporting EU Member States in implementing these rules at national level.

Established in 2016 under EEFIG (Energy Efficiency Financial Institutions Group) and now hosted by the European Energy Efficiency Financing Coalition, DEEP is operated by a consortium led by Viegand Maagøe (Denmark) with Fraunhofer ISI and ICCS-NTUA (Greece), on behalf of DG ENER.

 

 

DEEP is continuously expanded and improved by increasing the number of projects in the database and introducing new improved functionalities. The database, comprising more than 89,400 projects (as of June 2026), covers the EU-27, the UK, and the U.S.
