Interactive Visual Analytics & REST API for Renewable Energy Permit Data
This repository provides a complete analytical framework for exploring renewable energy permits in Greece, including:
- Cleaned and standardized RAE permit data
- Interactive dashboards built with Streamlit
- A fully documented REST API with Swagger
- Docker-ready deployment
- Visual insights for policymakers, researchers, and energy planners
The data was retrieved from the official RAE portal:
https://www.raaey.gr/energeia/ape/
The visualizations produced here were later deployed at:
RES Market Monitor – Data Analysis
This project analyzes renewable energy permits issued across Greece, providing insights such as:
- Regional permit distribution
- Historical growth trends
- Installed capacity by technology
- Expiring permits and future renewal load
- Technology adoption patterns
The goal is to support data-driven decision making in Greece’s energy transition.
- Streamlit dashboard for interactive exploration
- REST API for programmatic access to cleaned permit data
- Regional analysis with maps and technology distributions
- Time-series analysis for installed capacity & permit issuance
- Docker deployment for reproducible environments
- Clean, validated datasets ready for further analysis
Below are selected key plots from the Streamlit dashboard.
(To keep the README concise, only the most informative figures are included.)
Shows how renewable energy permits are distributed across Greek regions and technologies.
Reveals historical trends in annual permit approvals.
Tracks the growth of installed capacity for each renewable technology.
A clear snapshot of Greece’s renewable energy mix.
Highlights years with large volumes of upcoming permit expirations.
