Getting Granular: advancing power system decarbonisation through data

The Getting Granular: advancing power system decarbonisation through data roundtable took place at Climate Group Asia Action Summit as part of the day’s Breakout Agenda.

The session was co-hosted by Sophie Ribas (APAC Energy Policy & Markets Lead, Google), Hallie Cramer (Program Manager Data & Software Climate Solutions, Google) and Sam Kimmins (Director of Energy, Climate Group). Enrique Gutierrez (Energy Analyst, Renewable Integration and Secure Electricity, International Energy Agency) moderated the session.

The roundtable brought together key stakeholders such as energy producers, consumers, data solution providers, research institutes, and government, to explore the current status of energy data accessibility, quality, and granularity in markets across the APAC region. They came together to consider the opportunities and challenges, and to develop key insights for decision makers to democratise access to high-quality, granular data, which can support voluntary corporate clean energy actions, enable time-based Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), and support decarbonisation at large.

The discussion was guided by Roble Poe Velasco-Rosenheim, Director, Global Partnership and APAC at IREC, who presented the results of a short pre-roundtable survey. Hallie Cramer presented on energy data needs for impactful key use cases including buyside actions, cross-border power exchanges and new technologies.
