HomeAssessment and roadmap for digital transformation of the energy sector towards an innovative internal energy market
Executive summary
Publication metadata
The study focuses on an overview of the European Commission’s digitalisation policies, on the assessment of ten selected use cases which can be enabled by further actions removing hampering factors, on the design of four policy scenarios depicting such further actions and, finally, on a roadmap identifying timelines for both actions and implementation. The main questions that this study addresses are: why do we need digitalisation in the energy sector, whether it is worth paying for it, and who shall pay for it. To respond to such questions, the study goes through five tasks, whose main objectives are to provide: 1. A description of the most relevant future business cases in the energy sector which are dependent on the digitalisation of the sector, identifying existing barriers to their development; 2. The design of four realistic scenarios for the digital transformation of the energy sector by 2030; 3. The evaluation of synergies among different policy making areas in view of a wider “digitalised energy sector” and the regulatory challenges stemming from the rising need for cross-sectoral cooperation among different policy areas, at the EC and MS level; 4. The indication of a preferred policy scenario with actions to take and objectives to be pursued; 5. A comprehensive policy roadmap (2020-2025-2030) and the related recommendations to implement the identified measures.
