Energy As A Network

Clean, affordable secure energy is one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The business model for energy is moving from a product, e.g. gas or electricity, to providing a service, e.g. power, heating and cooling and transport. Energy As A Network will expand this model and consider how ICT can help one SDG can address other SDGs Poverty, Hunger, Good Health and Wellbeing, Reduce Inequalities, Innovation, Industry and Infrastructure, etc.

CELTIC Next Core Group members and collaborators will be familiar with ICT/Enabling Technology applications with IoT monitoring and controlling the decentralisation of generation, AI predicting supply and demand and environmental planning and monitoring using satellite earth observations.

Energy as a Network will consider Energy as an Enabling Technology in it's own right and develop cross-sectoral applications and business models. Health issues such as fuel poverty, long supply chains in food and drink and smart homes and factories all impact on the decarbonisation of the energy sector.
