What is Open Energy?

There are two ways to use Open Energy to find and share energy data:

Open Energy is a service that makes it easy to search, access and securely share energy data. Backed by Ofgem and the UK Government, it provides access to data held by thousands of individual organisations and institutions.

Access Control

Makes it efficient and secure to access and share data that can’t be published openly for legal, privacy, commercial or security reasons, like information on how electric vehicle charging stations are used in a certain local authority area. It covers legal contracts and security authentication so data is only accessed by the right organisations under pre-agreed policy and rules, using automation to simplify and scale the process. It’s built to financial-grade security standards.

Energy Search

Makes it simple to find energy data that’s already openly shared, like the amount of solar energy that’ll be generated according to the weather forecast

How Open Energy benefits the market

Open Energy can help organisations reduce the costs of finding, accessing and sharing data, aid compliance with regulation,

and stimulate innovation to develop products and services, so they can thrive in a net-zero economy.

Data

Consumers

Data

Providers

Service

Providers

Open Energy helps Data Providers increase their addressable market by sharing access to data in a simple, secure manner. The approach saves time and money in contract negotiations, technical integration and legal compliance. �

It can cut the cost of servicing a data request by at least 50%, using automation to comply with commercial and regulatory data-sharing policies, to unlock scale in data requests as they grow.

Early adoption will provide better value for money by helping to address interoperability as part of an organisations core digital strategy.

Open Energy helps Data Consumers find and access energy data from across the market with lower costs and less hassle.

It will unlock more efficient data sharing with both existing and developing use cases (e.g. flex) and stimulate product and service innovation for a net zero economy.

Open Energy helps Service Providers to quickly and efficiently access diverse market data to serve their customers. This will help them improve existing products, accelerate new offerings and reduce operating costs.

What are the needs of typical Open Energy members in each tier?

Our approach is to understand end user and sector needs

Policy and public sector organisations need easily discoverable data that they can access quickly for use in data-driven decision making. Often working on short project timelines, quick and affordable access to varied data sources is a priority. In universities and research institutes, short projects give rise to similar needs for fast data access. Licensing clarity is another priority for researchers in particular, who need transparency and stability regarding permitted data uses in order to assess research feasibility and any ethical implications.

As the smallest commercial members who are more likely to operate on intermittent funding, micro-businesses need affordable ways to access and share data that can also support internal cost-savings. As microbusinesses are more likely to be building products or services hinged on reliable access to a smaller number of data streams, reliability of access is a priority to ensure their business can develop sustainably.

SMEs currently report data discoverability and access as some of the biggest barriers to business growth. Due to their smaller size, lowering costs associated with data access and sharing is also important. SMEs need ways to save time and money - e.g. by reducing legal costs or staff time - that can help their businesses develop.They also need access to reliable data streams on which to build data-driven products and services, that won’t fail technically or be subject to frequent license changes.

Enterprises need infrastructure to govern, share and access data safely and reliably. This can help them make the most of emerging commercial opportunities and new markets associated with energy system digitalisation and decarbonisation. These need to both access and share large volumes and diverse types of data. Service reliability is important to them and internal efficiency is a motivating factor.

Energy networks have new regulatory obligations to share data and comply with the MED Data Best Practice Guidance. They also need to make good use of their rich data assets to support net-zero obligations. To do this, they need infrastructure, guidance and tools to help their large and complex organisations meet these obligations quickly and cost-effectively. As the energy data economy grows it will be increasingly important for networks to be able to service large volumes of data requests.

DNOs as Data Providers are key for Data Consumers and Service Providers

Cost Reduction to Meet Regulatory Compliance

What does OE save in time, money, resource across:

  • Legal
  • Operational
  • Technical
  • Data science
  • Administration

New Service and Revenue Opportunities

What does OE enable?

  • Data consumption for internal analysis/ efficiency
  • Service provision
  • Commercial API revenue (beyond regulatory mandate)

Incremental revenue from:

  • Energy sector Data Consumers and Service Providers
  • Industrial customers reporting on energy usage/carbon emissions

Economies of scale as data industrialises:

  • Discovery
  • Governance
  • Standardisation

The UK is about to invest £1,000,000,000 in modernising its energy infrastructure. All of this will be digital. Addressing interoperability ‘later’ will cost each company significantly more than arranging it jointly in advance.

The Open Energy service will create an estimated 50% cost reduction in data requests from 2022, before dropping substantially further.

Open Energy Costs

2020 2030 2040 2050

Number / £price

  • Currently, costs and resource to meet a data access request are spread across different departments and budgets
  • Our analysis suggests true cost* to service a data-request may be as high as £900
  • Number of requests increases as more assets are electrified and network “nodes” grow
  • The increase is exponential since the relationships between the assets are important
  • Companies are investing in data teams and data-hubs to reduce this cost, but it only solves part of the problem

Open Energy is hugely beneficial for DNOs - and all regulated Energy companies

In coming years, the UK’s drive towards digitalisation means: more best practices, guidances, regulations, compliance, standards, and governance.

Open Energy is a service designed by the sector, for the sector.

Instead of waiting for what is to come, regulated bodies including DNOs and GDNs can use Open Energy to shape the UK’s national strategy and set the regulatory framework.

It will make data work harder to deliver net zero and unlock greater efficiency and innovation throughout the UK energy ecosystem in the process.

Over time, Open Energy membership will accelerate digitalisation and decarbonisation:

Enable scalable data provision

Ensure regulatory compliance

Drive reduction in data sharing costs

Support innovation

Help drive UK

Open Energy will remain driven by user needs

It will evolve to support a wide range of use cases, brought to life through our Members

Open Energy Members are represented at Advisory Groups which combine individual expertise to help understand how the UK may better modernise energy data access. The Open Energy Steering Group oversees this work, providing a focal point for reporting, challenge function and sign-off of the Advisory Group recommendations.

Open Energy is designed to deliver cross-industry alignment, clear use cases and a roadmap for future work that highlights gaps and opportunities together with recommended approaches and resolutions.

The User, Market and Societal Needs Advisory Group, first established in 2020, will continue to provide the focus on use case identification, evaluation, adoption and development.

Members can identify and propose use cases for evaluation through the Advisory Group (AG). Once accepted as a candidate, the use case will go through a thorough evaluation and will be prioritised according to a set of criteria pre-agreed with the AG. The AG will then request that selected use cases are agreed by Steering Group for adoption and therefore inclusion in the roadmap.

Membership Fees: Summary of feedback from Consultation, Advisory and Steering Groups

We must have clarity on the proposition. Specifically, why is Open Energy attractive?

Open Energy must show a clear cost-benefit, be transparent on cost base and be sustainable without external support. Potential Members must be able to understand what data is available in order to allow ROI assessment

How will Members be represented, and what are their rights in the Advisory and Steering Groups?

Minimise friction and barriers to use within organisations

Treat energy network companies in their capacity as data providers as separate from their capacity as data consumers

The network licence obligations this service will support

The cost to network companies to comply with these obligations in the absence of this service

Incentivise publication of data

Is “size of entity” approach sufficient? Consider other dimensions including roles of Data Provider, Data Consumer and Service Provider, as well as aspects such as volume of data consumed
