Secure your place
On June 17, we’re hosting a use case accelerator workshop, exploring the user needs, market barriers, and data landscape shaping a new data sharing Scheme designed to scale Industrial & Commercial (I&C) flexibility across the energy sector.
The event features a networking lunch, short presentations, facilitated breakout sessions and Q&A discussions with participants invited to:
- Critically test the initial use case definition produced by Icebreaker One
- Explore user needs of different actors across use case (e.g. business case, value case, data needs)
- Define key roles and responsibilities within the use case
- Explore the data landscape surrounding I&C flexibility and the data needs of Scheme users
- Facilitate connections and network building
Attendees will leave with:
- A clearer understanding of the Scheme’s purpose, scope, and direction
- Practical insight into how their organisation can shape and participate in the Scheme
- Access to a growing network of stakeholders driving innovation in I&C flexibility
Outputs will be used to shape the agenda for Scheme advisory groups (Q3 2026 launch) and define the scope of an initial Pilot (early 2027 launch).
Participation from I&C energy consumers, I&C trade bodies, energy networks, energy suppliers, flexibility service providers, aggregators, and innovators are particularly welcomed.
A shared data scheme to accelerate I&C Flexibility
Open Energy is facilitating the collaborative development of a data sharing Scheme to accelerate Industrial and Commercial (I&C) participation in consumer led flexibility. It responds to a clear, under-served market need for I&C actors to be able to easily and securely exchange data between authorised parties for the purpose of assessing, planning, and implementing flexibility.
The potential benefits are significant; helping businesses unlock new value, supporting a more flexible and resilient energy system, and contributing to the UK’s Clean Power 2030 ambitions.
