The world of energy is changing rapidly, bringing changes to the way we live, do business and interact with the environment. It is evident that the Energy sector represents not only a strategic area of our identity as citizens of the world, but it is also the key to ensure that safety, social and environmental objectives of our societies are achieved by transitioning the way in which energy is produced, transmitted, distributed, and used. While innovation helps us to address resilience, affordability and vulnerability within the sector, the combined bottom-up pressure from urban authorities and the top-down push from national regulators could be of extreme benefit, supporting the changes deemed necessary in the Energy sector. It could hereby fasten and scale-up the transition process to new digital infrastructure management and business models.

 

The IDEASFORUM Community was born out of the smart energy mission support committee of the FIWARE Foundation and its work in cooperation with Linux Foundation for Energy, DG Energy and DG CNECT of the European Commission and the CEF Digital Program Team.

The members of the Competence Centre are all actively participating to the open source community. The community is focused on supporting the development of software to accompany the energy transition and assure that the digitalisation of the energy infrastructure has the right tool. Our goal is a balanced integration of new renewable sources in the smart grids of Europe.

Thanks to the support of all our members (Academia, research centres, Utilities, Industry and the public sector), the Competence Centre is able to provide support on new software tools for TSOs, DSOs and local energy communities. The identification and further development of data models for specific energy use cases contributes to assess on what standards would support the implementation of energy projects better.
