Case study: Collaborating across the digital energy landscape: Data sharing

3. Reflective Questions

If you’re considering community level-data sharing, you may want to reflect on the following questions:

For energy communities:

  • What will be the main benefits of data sharing in your community?
  • What will be the main challenges of data sharing in your community?
  • What approach will you take to evaluating community level-data sharing?
  • How will you address concerns around the misuse of energy data?
  • How could you improve your own and/or others digital energy literacy?
  • What tools or resources could support your decisions and next steps?
  • How could we leverage our consumption/production data with others (e.g. energy retailers, DSOs, data brokers)?

For individual energy users:

  • What type of data do I create by being an energy consumer?
  • How willingly am I to share personal data, related to my energy consumption habits, with others?
