Roundtable 'Digitalisation in the energy transition'

Data, technology and collaboration for a sustainable energy system

The report Roundtable: Digitalization in the Energy Transition, drawn up by CGI and New Energy Coalition, investigates how digitalization can contribute to a more efficient and flexible energy supply. During the roundtable in Groningen, experts from the energy sector discussed how data, ICT, and innovative financing models can accelerate the energy transition.

Key insights

The role of data and ICT

    • Data and AI optimize the management of energy infrastructure and predict energy needs.
    • digital twins improve maintenance and reduce disruptions to electricity networks.
    • Flexible data hubs ensure better coordination between energy producers and users.

Challenges in grid capacity and infrastructure

    • Grid congestion calls for a better balance between supply and demand.
    • Innovations such as local energy hubs and underground hydrogen storage can relieve the burden on the electricity grid.

Future of energy professionals and financing

    • Educational institutions and companies must work together to train the next generation of energy experts.
    • New financing models are needed to bridge uncertainties in the energy transition.
