On April 29, 2025, the 1st Impulsforum Digitale Energiewende took place in Berlin, hosted by VDE DKE at the Future Energy Lab. With a focus on the overarching vision of the All Electric Society, the event brought together experts from across sectors to advance discussions on cross-domain data ecosystems and interoperability in energy systems.
The forum featured insightful presentations in the morning, including a talk by Ludwig Karg on the goals and progress of our int:net project. Rolf Riemenschneider from the European Commission added a broader European perspective by highlighting developments in Energy Data Spaces. The afternoon was dedicated to interactive workshops designed to initiate the foundation of a new standardisation committee: “All Electric Society: Platform for Cross-Sector Data Ecosystems.”
This initiative aims to drive the development of practical, interoperable standards for data exchange across the energy, mobility, and industrial sectors — a key requirement for achieving a holistic energy transition.
Representing int:net, René Kuchenbuch from OFFIS participated in the event discussions. Sebastian Kosslers and Beate Schmitt, also involved in int:net, were among the workshop organisers.
This Impulsforum marks the beginning of a long-term effort to coordinate data management standardisation around sector coupling and digital infrastructure. int:net is proud to contribute to this transformative initiative, supporting the foundation for interoperable, scalable, and sustainable digital energy systems.
