Summary
The European Commission published questions and answers on its Strategic Roadmap for digitalisation and AI in the energy sector. The document says AI will improve renewable forecasts, grid balancing and predictive maintenance, and that the EU will support trusted, energy-specific European industrial AI solutions. It describes voluntary tripartite agreements with data centre operators, a planned Union rating scheme for data centre energy and water performance, and Smart Grids Indicators. The Commission will table a legislative proposal to accelerate smart meter roll-out. On cybersecurity, it refers to a proposed Cybersecurity Act and a proposal for an AI Act that would provide the framework for AI regulatory sandboxes for energy AI applications.
Why it matters
The roadmap sets out how the EU intends to apply AI in the energy system while managing data centre electricity demand. It affects grid operators, data centre operators, energy suppliers and Member States, and signals future measures including a smart meter legislative proposal, a data centre rating scheme and a review of the energy security of supply framework.
