EMPOWER-X
Share, certify and use energy data under your own control.
A federated energy data space for municipalities, energy communities, operators and technology providers.
I want to find and use data
See which energy data and services exist, and use them without raw data leaving its holder when the offer is compute-to-data.
Find dataI want to share data or a service
Publish a dataset, algorithm or service and decide who may use it and on what terms.

Publish or discover
Offers are listed in one catalogue, each with its licence and access level.
Order and use
Accept the licence, then download, call a service or run an approved algorithm where the data is.
Stay in control
Rules and policies travel with every offer, and every order is traceable.
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.
ExploreDistributed renewable asset monitoring
Generation and surplus data from solar and other local assets, with traceable proof of renewable origin.
ExploreTariff and market intelligence
Forecasting and flexibility inputs for DSOs, utilities and service providers, exchanged in standard formats.
ExploreTerritorial benchmarking and decarbonisation
Compare territories using common codes and units (NUTS, LAU, SI) to follow progress toward climate goals.
ExploreBring the algorithm to the data, not the data to the algorithm.
With compute-to-data, approved algorithms run where the data is held and only the results are returned. Data holders decide who may use their data, for what and on which terms.
- Each offer has exactly one access level, and the provider node enforces it.
- Only approved algorithms run, with no outbound internet access by default.
- Household data is aggregated to at least 10 households unless people consent otherwise.
- Every order is recorded on the ledger with a verifiable transaction identifier.
Turning Rubí into a Positive Energy District
EMPOWER-X is the energy data space for the DS4PED Rubí pilot: community-led renewable energy projects and smart electric-vehicle charging, to boost local energy independence and lower carbon emissions.
Seven principles behind every rule
Data holders decide who may use their data, for what and on which terms.
Everything EMPOWER-X publishes about offers, use and compliance reflects the platform as it is operated. Example records, test activity and planned features are never presented as real.
Open standards and open-source components; no lock-in to a single operator.
Participants and offers are backed by verifiable credentials checked against recognised trust anchors.
Any eligible organisation can join on the same published criteria.
Personal and household energy data leaves its holder only in aggregated or derived form, unless the data subject has consented.
Rules support the energy transition and the long-term viability of the data space.
Built on open standards
Open standards and open-source components, so nothing locks a participant in.
