On 14 September 2023, the third and final online RETA workshop in the series on digitalization took place, facilitated by the International Energy Agency and Energy Innovation. 32 participants joined from all over the world.
The workshop featured some high-level speakers focusing on technical solutions, including Audrey Zibelman and speakers from Energy Web, the Californian PUC and the regulator and independent system operator in Chile. The need to build global standards for the digitalization of energy systems, and to get it right the first time round, was underlined. Specific examples of dynamic pricing, models for digital hubs and the use of blockchain were explored.
Following the presentations, the participants were divided into breakout rooms to engage in deeper discussions on the three case studies presented from Australia, California and Chile. Regulators can access materials from the workshop here.
