When the funded projects run
OMEGA-X: Orchestrating an interoperable sovereign federated Multi-vector Energy data space built on open standards and ready for GAia-X
€8M EU contribution · 40 partners · 2022-05 to 2025-04 · coordinated by Atos It Solutions and Services Iberia SL (ES)
Orchestrating an interoperable sovereign federated Multi-vector Energy data space built on open standards and ready for GAia-XThe aim of OMEGA-X is to implement a data space (based on European common standards), including federated infrastructure, data marketplace and service marketplace, involving data sharing between different stakeholders and demonstrating its value for real and concrete Energy use cases and…
EDDIE: European Distributed Data Infrastructure for Energy
€8M EU contribution · 19 partners · 2023-01 to 2026-06 · coordinated by FH Oo Forschungs & Entwicklungs GmbH (AT)
The Clean Energy Package establishes the rights to access energy data to customers and share it with eligible parties of their choice. This enables new energy data-based services within and beyond the energy sector. The main barrier for this development is the lack of large-scale and uniform procedures in the EU. Players are tied to national practices, which limits their interoperability and growth perspective.
SYNERGIES: Shaping consumer-inclusive data pathwaYs towards the eNERGy transItion, through a reference Energy data Space implementation
€8M EU contribution · 26 partners · 2022-09 to 2026-02 · coordinated by TXT E-Tech SRL (IT)
SYNERGIES introduces a reference Energy Data Space Implementation that will attempt to unleash the data-driven innovation and sharing potential across the energy data value chain by leveraging on data and intelligence coming from diverse energy actors (prioritizing on consumers and introducing them as data owners/ providers) and coupled sectors (buildings, mobility) and effectively making them reachable and widely…
ENERSHARE: European commoN EneRgy dataSpace framework enabling data sHaring-driven Across- and beyond- eneRgy sErvices
€7.6M EU contribution · 31 partners · 2022-07 to 2025-06 · coordinated by Engineering - Ingegneria Informatica SpA (IT)
The ongoing energy system digitization is making available an enormous amount of data, paving the way for data sharing-enabled cross-value chain services, which may contribute to system-level increased efficiency and hence facilitate the energy transition. However data sharing in the energy sector is lagging behind, mainly due to lack of trust, privacy breaches risk and business models immaturity.
DATA CELLAR: Data hub for the Creation of Energy communities at Local Level and to Advance Research on them
€7M EU contribution · 33 partners · 2022-06 to 2025-11 · coordinated by Rina Consulting SpA (IT)
Local Energy communities (LEC) have been recognized by EC as key measure to boost EU energy transition. At the same time digitalization of EU energy system and a proper data sharing among energy players look crucial to foster best practice sharing and the creation of a knowledge community to tackle one of the most urgent global crisis of our society: climate change.
What the winning consortia had in common
- Consortia averaged 29.8 organisations, and companies held 86 of 149 seats (58%).
