Digital interventions in the sector are closely linked to national plans such as the National Energy and Climate Plan 2030, the Long Term Strategy 2050 and the ELEKTRA programme. Important actions include the extension and upgrading of the Cadastre through reliable geospatial data (EYGEP), as well as technological upgrades in the field of Civil Protection (modernisation of 112, GPS in Fire Brigade vehicles, installation of a private mobile network for critical services). In the field of electronic building identification, the digitisation of the physical building permit files in the e-Permits system was completed, facilitating management and compliance with the institutional framework. At the same time, the Geoportal of the Ministry of Environment fully complied with the INSPIRE Directive, using open software and World Bank recommendations for optimal interoperability and transparency of geospatial data.
