What is the Digital Energy Transition and why is it important?

12. Conclusion

There are many benefits to the digitalisation of energy. Digital technologies can provide insights into our own behaviour and enable us to make meaningful changes, reduce costs and lower carbon emissions. The digitalisation of energy also enables us to use different types of energy more effectively and ensures a constant energy supply to our homes and work.  

Digital technologies can also benefit businesses and governments by providing real time insights and supporting efficient energy production and consumption. As we transition to more sustainable sources of energy, digital technologies and digital services offer the potential for energy systems to be more connected, intelligent, efficient, reliable and sustainable.

However, although there are many benefits to the digitalisation of energy, there are also a range of issues that need to be addressed, including the cost, availability and the perception of digital technologies. Addressing these challenges and ensuring that everyone can engage and be part of the digital energy transition is essential to its success.
