INSIEME - Integrated Network for Data Space and Interoperable Energy Management in Europe

INSIEME (Italian for “together”) aims to deploy a Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS) to facilitate data sharing, interoperability, and innovation in the energy sector. The project will establish a federated architecture to connect existing data exchange platforms across Europe. INSIEME will implement core CEEDS components and deploy them across multiple use cases and pilots in over 15 EU countries.

This project has been co-funded by the European Union’s Digital Europe Programme under grant agreement No. 101194952.

The integration of renewables and an increasing number of diverse prosumers pose significant challenges for energy infrastructure at regional, national, and EU levels. Recent European developments highlight the need for digitalisation and streamlined energy data exchange. Scalable solutions for utilities, service providers, and active customers require an integrated, standardised, secure, and cost-efficient approach to data exchange among diverse stakeholders.

Aligning with European strategies and developments, regional and EU-level energy data spaces are being piloted to address these challenges. As energy data management is decided by Member States, several national data spaces have been created to meet European legislative requirements and support developments such as energy communities and the utilisation of distributed flexibility.

INSIEME aims to connect, enhance, and streamline these solutions into a Common European Energy Data Space through a federation architecture linking data exchange platforms and organisations across Europe and addressing key data integration challenges for regulated domain and market actors.

The consortium consists of more than 50 partners ranging from European companies and institutions to innovative SMEs and organisations. These include technology providers, data space operators, distribution and transmission system operators, energy community platforms, artificial intelligence experts, and EU associations. Together, the partners will implement 14 pan-European deployments involving software and hardware development and integration, as well as stakeholder engagement at local, regional, national, and EU levels.
