Energy State aid: A Toolbox on Counterfactual Impact Evaluation

This document aims to provide a Toolbox for the use of Counterfactual Impact Evaluation (CIE) methods in the case of energy State aid interventions. In particular, it seeks to assist Member State (MS) policy officers when devising an evaluation plan to be submitted to the European Commission for adoption and also for writing the Terms of Reference for the tendering of evaluation reports.
