The energy sector is shifting toward low-CO2 technologies as part of the Green Deal and REPowerEU plan. This transformation requires upgrading the electrical grid to support, for instance, increased electrification in mobility and building temperature control. Europe needs a resilient, cyber-secure, and flexible electrical network, which depends on advanced automation and digitalization of energy systems. Data spaces play a crucial role in driving the digitalization of electrical energy systems, fostering improved efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. They not only unlock new business opportunities but also tackle existing technical challenges.
Version 2.0 is the latest version of the blueprint of the Common EU Energy Data Space. Published in July 2024, the document outlines the vision of a Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS) and provides detailed strategies to bring this vision to life. Its main aim is to improve the current data infrastructures in the energy sector, paving the way for the introduction of new energy services that will benefit all stakeholders.
The primary objective of this document is to introduce:
- a framework for new, economically feasible business use cases
- the overall data space architecture that can enable them
This architecture aims to connect the existing data infrastructures, which consist of diverse, heterogeneous systems operated by different entities, with federated data spaces, with technical specifications included to accomplish this.
