Description

BEIS will procure a six-month discovery study assessing technical feasibility and policy implications of the energy system ‘digital spine’ concept, as proposed in the Energy Digitalisation Taskforce report.

Total Quantity or Scope

An energy system digital spine is a proposed piece of digital infrastructure to connect energy system participants, enabling them to exchange data simply and securely. A common industry-wide digital spine solution could deliver the efficiencies of an interoperable, digital energy system, but the definition, scope, potential delivery options and overarching governance requirements are uncertain and wide-ranging. This study will include definition/scope options analysis, stakeholder engagement, security and operability implications, user journeys, and costs. This work sits within the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio’s £65m Flexibility Innovation Programme, which enables large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. BEIS is holding a supplier engagement event on 8th September 13:00 – 14:00 for this opportunity, please use the link below to register for this event: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/energy-system-digital-spine-scoping-study-informa...
