Energy System Digital Spine Scoping Study

Notice 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.

Lot Information

Lot 1

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. 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 PS65m Flexibility Innovation Programme, which enables large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets.
