3、OPPORTUNITIES IN ENERGY DATAIncreased electrification across society to meet climate targets,paired with European and local legislation,has put pressure on every level of the grid,while creating opportunities for existing and new market players.In addition,end consumers are looking for active opport

4、unities to valorize their energy-efficiency investments,like solar photovoltaic(PV),heat pumps,electric boilers,and home batteries.Service providers are eagerly scouting for new opportunities to create value by leveraging the skyrocketing amounts of data that accompany these changes.Although the opp

5、ortunities for commercial energy market players to offer energy services are vast,one key barrier is preventing fast innovation:access to energy data.The demand from existing and new market players has increased steadily and continually and will continue to do so.In this Report,we identify systems a

6、nd parties who are trying to retrieve the data and explore relevant energy data use cases.We examine these cases through three different lenses:how to facilitate energy data access through smart meters,how to meet governance requirements,and finally how to incorporate the IT system perspective.The o
