In recent years, and with much credit to the work of the Energy Data Taskforce, awareness has grown of the need to revitalise and repurpose energy industry approaches to the use of data and digitalisation through the energy transition.
Doing this effectively and in line with the spirit of a “just” transition, is however no small task. It involves myriad technical, commercial, cultural and ethical challenges which must be overcome – and at pace if the UK is to stay on track to meet its’ legally binding net zero emissions target.
At a recent industry working group hosted by Utility Week in association with CGI, industry representatives shared detailed thoughts on these challenges and how they can be addressed by putting in pace key enablers and specifying well defined expected outcomes from system digitalisation.
This unique report digests the observations and recommendations shared by this diverse group, comprising strategic leaders as well as service and data specialist from across the energy industry – including infrastructure owners and service providers.
