Next-Generation energy systems: How to advance the digitalisation of EU energy infrastructure?
In October 2022, the European Commission put forward its Action Plan to Digitalise the EU Energy System, containing measures to support digital solutions in this field, including the creation of a “digital twin” of the European electricity grid and a common European energy data space.
The action plan aims to support energy system integration, the participation of professionals and consumers in the energy transition, and to ensure interoperability of energy data, platforms, and services. Digital technologies can also unleash the full potential of flexible energy generation and consumption in different sectors and enable more use of renewable energy. This event will aim to discuss how digital technologies will make energy infrastructure more connected, intelligent, efficient, reliable, and sustainable over the coming decades.
