In light of the EU’s dependence on Russian fossil energy, the REPowerEU plan calls for a massive scale-up in renewables (wind, solar, hydro, tidal, etc) as well as faster electrification and replacement of fossil-based heat and fuel in industry, buildings and the transport sector to tackle the climate crisis and ensure affordable access to energy for all.  Digital technologies like IoT, data analytics, cloud computing and AI could relax short-term investments needs and manage uncertainty to enable a deep digital and sustainable transformation of our energy system.

To achieve these objectives, Europe needs to build an energy system that is much smarter and more interactive than it is today. Energy and resource efficiency, decarbonisation, electrification, sector integration and decentralisation of the energy system all require a tremendous effort in digitalisation.

Following the adoption of the Commission Communication on Digitalising the energy system - EU action plan (COM(2022)552/2)  the Commission’s Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT), the Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) and the European Distribution System Operators (E.DSO) jointly organize this seminar.

The seminar will touch upon highly relevant topics, such as data spaces, data sharing, digital twin grid management and twill hereafter look into standards for data and interoperability, grid edge and tackles the investments in digital electricity infrastructure.
