Digitalization of energy infrastructure and data interoperability: what can we learn from other sectors?

Digitalization is transforming the energy sector by improving the efficiency in the planning, operation, and maintenance of the physical infrastructure, while opening the door to new forms of interactions and products in the energy field. The aggregation of distributed energy resources, the smart management of energy appliances and the trade of energy peer-to-peer are among the many opportunities that the digitalisation of energy supports.

However, for digitalization to have its full impact and support a vibrant and competitive industry, data interoperability is key. Easy access to data and seamless sharing of information by different actors and applications is a necessary prerequisite for digitalisation to support the delivery of a low-carbon energy system with the consumers at its centre.

Energy is not the only sector being transformed by digitalization. Other industries are equally being disrupted. In this online event, we will discuss with academics active in the telecom and healthcare sector:

• why policymakers and regulators are well-advised to look beyond the boundaries of the energy sector.
• what we can learn from the experiences with digitalisation in telecom and with interoperability in healthcare.
• how we can successfully deliver on the promise of a digitalised citizen-centred energy sector.
