The Common European Energy Data Space and the Energy Networks

Purpose of Review The development of the Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS) emerges as a pillar to enable secure, interoperable, trusted, and resilient data exchange among stakeholders of the European energy system. Recent Findings We study the potentials for the CEEDS from an energy infrastructure perspective. We focus on the improvement of operational processes, reducing barriers to entry and to data exchanges, utilising AI-driven analytics, new cross-sectoral processes, and flexibility. Summary Recent innovative projects and solutions implemented, show promising and relevant potential for the implementation of the CEEDS in the energy sector. However, there are still not enough empirical analyses of the impact of real-life energy data space initiatives, which are essential for implementing these large-scale solutions.
