Decarbonization, decentralization and digitalization – these three “Ds” are driving the transformation of our energy system.
Digital platforms are changing existing business models or creating entirely new ones. The focus is increasingly on data infrastructures and trustworthy data spaces. With their help, consumers can be integrated better into the energy markets and be empowered in their decisions. A balance between data protection and data utilization supports the transformation of the energy system, e.g. with data science and artificial intelligence (AI). The visualization of indicators via dashboards and geo-information systems in real time increases transparency and awareness. What's more, such visualizations support sustainable decisions at all levels of the federal state. Professionalized data management and open (government) data form the basis for this and for upcoming digital innovations.
The Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) is supporting and shaping the digital transformation of the energy sector. It continuously analyzes important developments and actively supports digital innovations. The SFOE drives digitalization forward through data-driven projects and continuously examines possible or necessary adjustments to the regulatory framework. Meanwhile, it is also developing itself further.
