Developing, testing and deploying
interoperable energy services to further pave the path for a carbon free European society in 2050
Electricity from renewable resources, combined with a smart digital grid infrastructure, is the only way to decarbonise the energy sector.
But the energy transition towards a carbon neutral European future in 2050 affects many other sectors than just energy: transport, building, agriculture and industrial production, to name just a few. To make the transition happen, not only connectivity in the energy sector is needed but energy related processes and products in all sectors need to be aligned. With the int:net project, we aimed to connect these domains and elevate joint standardization and interoperability to a new level, paving the way for a more integrated and efficient future.
Final Conference
On September 18 and 19, 2025, in the final conference of int:net took place under the theme "From Vision to Implementation: Interoperability for Europe’s Energy System". The event was an important milestone in advancing interoperability for Europe’s future energy system. Take this opportunity to engage with the comprehensive documentation, which will support you in applying the key tools and findings of int:net—whether in research or the practical implementation of interoperability in the energy sector.
Key results of our work
Discover the key results of the int:net project through our short video clips, featuring insights from leading experts on interoperability, use cases, tools, and successful implementations across the energy sector.
We have established an open and cross-domain community: The Interoperability Network for the Energy Transition (int:net). Through the int:net interoperability network, we have brought together key stakeholders from across the European energy sector to collaboratively develop, test, and deploy interoperable energy services.
Although the int:net project has now concluded, the interoperability network continues to thrive. With a comprehensive, FAIR knowledge platform and a series of engaging events, the int:net community will guide those navigating the complex interoperability landscape of energy services long into the future.
Legacy of our work
To support the ongoing harmonization of energy services, the int:net project has institutionalized an assessment methodology and maturity model (IMM). From the beginning, we involved legal and regulatory bodies and maintained a constant exchange with interoperability initiatives and standardization bodies. This has helped build a strong foundation for fostering a deep consensus on how European governance and industry can advance interoperability across all levels.
