A Diamond in the Rough: How Energy Consumption Data Can Boost Artificial Intelligence Startups and Accelerate the Green Transition

This policy brief explores how the reuse of energy consumption data can foster a dynamic cleantech ecosystem and contribute to achieving the goals of the European Green Deal. Drawing on insights from EDDIE, a decentralised platform that standardises data formats and enhances data management across Europe, the brief outlines five key recommendations for shifting from a focus on data regulation to fostering innovation. These recommendations include: Enhancing User Experience, Nurturing the Cleantech Ecosystem, Strengthening, Data Stewardship, Clarifying GDPR Guidelines, Eliminating Barriers to the Single Market.

Energy Sector Digitalisation, Green Transition and Regulatory Trade-offs

The green transition relies on electricity generation from intermittent renewable energy sources and the electrification of end-consumption such as heating, cooling, or mobility. At the same time, an increasing number of previously passive consumers are becoming active actors in the energy system, while the quantity of electric devices connected to the grid increases.

Economics of data interoperability in a data-driven energy sector

A market-based energy transition requires active customers, which means they offer their energy flexibility through data-driven services. Implementing these services requires data interoperability standards and processes, and single common front doors. In economic terms, data interoperability lowers the barriers to participate in those services and improves their liquidity and efficiency.

Blueprint of the Common European Energy Data Space

This document addresses the concept of a Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS), providing detailed approaches and recommendations for its real-world realization. In particular, the main objective of this blueprint is to guide on enhancing the existing data infrastructures, the energy domain, towards the full embracement of data space solutions.

A Framework for Enabling Cloud Services to Leverage Energy Data

Aggregating energy data at scale becomes challenging, as it requires achieving compatibility with diverse platforms. To address this challenge, we propose a cloud-based framework that handles all interactions with energy providers and prepares the data for further processing by services.

Data Sovereignty at the Edge of the Network

Data sovereignty upholds that data is subject to the rules of the data provider and the applicable laws of the country where the data is collected. To achieve data sovereignty, various approaches have been proposed which rely on cloud computing resources to provide users with the necessary functionality to exchange sovereign data.
