The EPC Project “Digitalisation for a clean energy transition”, organised with the support of the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications, explores how digitalisation can serve as a catalyst for the clean energy transition in Europe. It also considers the policy framework needed to fully align and promote the synergies between energy and digital policies and support the twin green and digital transition of the European energy sector.
The first online workshop organised as part of this project discussed the current and potential future role of digital tools in facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources and the obstacles standing in the way of unlocking their full potential in the renewable revolution.
The second online workshop looked at the demand side and considered how data and digital solutions could enable more efficient energy consumption and enhance energy savings across Europe. Furthermore, it scoped out the policies and public investments necessary to overcome the main hurdles stopping digitalisation from becoming a true driver of energy efficiency.
These two workshops serve as the basis of a Discussion Paper, which will be presented at a final event in November 2022.
