DG ENER has organized a series of workshops to collect input from stakeholders on the Action Plan on the Digitalisation of the Energy Sector, aimed at developing a competitive market for digital energy services and a digital energy infrastructure that is cyber-secure, efficient and sustainable. One meeting in this series – Data sharing in renewable energy: experiences and incentives – is co-hosted by EUREC and will be held on 24th February, from 15:00 – 16:30.

EUREC has made data sharing one of two key ideas to promote in the debates happening now on the ‘Fit for 55’ package, which includes proposals to revise the Renewable Energy Directive. The scope of this workshop is therefore focused on people’s experience of data sharing and hearing their views on the incentives that may need to come from the public sector to stimulate digitalization further.

Date/Time: 24th February 2022, 15:00 – 16:30
