Energy Systems Catapult is set to explore the viability of a “digital spine” concept for the UK energy system via a partnership with Arup and the University of Bath.
Energy Systems Catapult has released a new report indicating that digital twin technologies could be used for government and regulators to develop possible future policies.
Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) has called on energy retailers to evolve in order to support customers transitioning away from fossil fuels and into a net zero energy system.
Regulators and policymakers have acknowledged that more work is needed to deliver an effective, secure, digitalised energy system, but called on industry to also play its part.
Pointing to what it described as “potential” conflicts of interest within National Grid, Ofgem has issued a recommendation for a fully independent system operator (ISO).
