Discover EMPOWER-X

The domains, use cases and services in the data space, and what every offer tells you before you order it.

Domains

Four domains

Positive Energy District and municipal energy management

District-level insight for Positive Energy District planning and energy-poverty measures, without centralising citizens’ data.

Distributed renewable asset monitoring

Generation and surplus data from solar and other local assets, with traceable proof of renewable origin.

Tariff and market intelligence

Forecasting and flexibility inputs for DSOs, utilities and service providers, exchanged in standard formats.

Territorial benchmarking and decarbonisation

Compare territories using common codes and units (NUTS, LAU, SI) to follow progress toward climate goals.

Use case register

Current use cases

The Governance Authority keeps this register and reports every year on new services and offers (R2.2).

Catalogues

Two catalogues, one portal

Data catalogue

All offers, searchable in the portal and available in machine-readable form (DCAT-AP and Ocean Enterprise metadata).

Service catalogue

Algorithms and value-creation services, each shown with its service terms, version, owner and support contact.

Federated offersOffers from federated data spaces are shown with their data space of origin, kept separate from EMPOWER-X’s own, and never counted as EMPOWER-X activity. EMPOWER-X is currently federating with the SENSE data space; it will be reported as bidirectional only once every element of R6.4 is confirmed in writing.
Before you order

What every offer tells you

Every offer in the catalogue carries the same information (R6.1), so you know what you will receive and on which terms before ordering.

  • Title, description, data holder and provider
  • A licence approved by the data holder, or “Licence pending”
  • One access level and a personal-data flag
  • Data model and version, update frequency, known limitations
  • For algorithms: the input they expect and what they return
