The energy system ‘digital spine’ feasibility study was an opportunity to contribute to policy development for the digitalisation of our energy system. A smart, flexible energy system can improve our energy security and help deliver net zero by 2050 at least cost to the consumer. The opportunity was worth up to £204,000 (excluding VAT).
The Energy Digitalisation Taskforce report included a proposal to create a ‘digital spine’ for the energy system to support delivering interoperability across the sector.
BEIS requested applications to produce a study to examine the opportunities, risks and potential architecture of a digital spine. We have published details of the successful project here.
