Imagine if every country had a different plug for your electronics; you'd need a new adapter for every trip. This project creates a single 'universal adapter' for energy data across Europe. It lets people easily share their power usage info with companies they trust, regardless of which country they are in.
Energy companies face high costs and technical barriers when expanding across Europe because each country has different data sharing rules. This prevents the scaling of smart energy services and limits consumer choice.
A decentralized open-source data space including a common API for 7 countries, a consent management tool (Consent Façade), and a real-time data access tool (AIIDA).
If you are an ESCO dealing with high costs to integrate data from different EU countries — this project developed a common API and standardized data process that lowers integration costs. This allows you to compete in a common European market instead of managing national practices.
If you are a device manufacturer dealing with restricted access to real-time in-house sensor data — this project developed the AIIDA tool. This allows your services to receive data streams from smart meters and behind-the-meter assets based on customer consent.
If you are a grid operator dealing with fragmented data sharing across borders — this project developed a consent-based interoperable mechanism. This enables a secure way to manage data exchange with flexibility service providers and energy communities.
It drastically lowers data integration costs by providing a uniform interface and common process, allowing companies to operate across a common European market.
Based on available project data, the system already supports connectivity with validated data for 7 Member States as of month 18.
The project is building a decentralized, distributed, open-source data space.
It uses a consent-based mechanism and a specific 'Consent Façade' to ensure customers independently manage how their data is shared with eligible parties.
Integration is achieved through a common and easily integrable API and a message-based communication approach.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with a 47% industry ratio comprising 9 companies. With 19 partners across 8 countries, the group blends academic research (4 universities, 2 research centers) with practical implementation experts like software developers and ESCOs, suggesting the output is designed for immediate market utility rather than theoretical study.
