What is the minimum required (and desired) data standards and processes are required to enable AI/ML to effectively engage with Energy System (e.g. optimising millions of distributed assets with greater precision thus reducing the reliance on blunt capacity market instruments)?

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
