The Energy Data Taskforce has delivered a strategy for a Modern, Digitalised Energy System based two key principles – filling in the data gaps through requiring new and better-quality data, and maximising its value by embedding the presumption that data is open. #EDTF

A staged approach should be taken with the first two visibility steps driven and encouraged by regulation, while operational optimisation and open markets can be developed from increased access to data..

1.Data Visibility: Understanding the data that exists, the data that is missing, which datasets are important, and making it easier to access and understand data.

2.Infrastructure and Asset Visibility: Revealing system assets and infrastructure, where they are located and their capabilities, to inform system planning and management.

3.Operational Optimisation: Enabling operational data to be layered across the assets to support system optimisation and facilitating multiple actors to participate at all levels across the system.

4.Open Markets: Achieving much better price discovery, through unlocking new markets, informed by time, location and service value data.

5.Agile Regulation: Enabling regulators to adopt a much more agile and risk reflective approach to regulation of the sector, by giving them access to more and better data.
