ESMIG welcomes the European Commission’s upcoming Strategic Roadmap on digitalisation and AI in the energy sector.
As the EU advances its digital and green transitions, the energy sector plays a central role in delivering this transformation. The success of the roadmap will largely depend on access to high-quality interoperable data and the infrastructure that supports it.
Our recommendations:
- Accelerated deployment of smart meters with enhanced data capabilities, edge processing, and cybersecurity, supported by harmonised EU-wide standards.
- Common standards for access, interoperability and secure exchange to build a scalable European energy data space that allows national systems to evolve toward EU-level integration.
- Incentives for DSOs to invest in data infrastructure and smart grid capabilities.
- Clear and harmonised guidelines that balance strong data protection with innovation and effective use of AI.
