Hello Tom, all
To let people know that I just posted to the openmod forum on the legal challenges, as I see them, that this new agency is likely to face:
The best solution would be legislative: to simply ditch the 2013
European Database Directive, while preserving existing
entitlements. One vote in the European Parliament would suffice.
That aside, these are really challenging issues, probably only
solvable only by CC‑BY‑4.0 licensing across the board. And a
number of openmoders have been crawling on that broken glass for a
decade now.
To note also that Tom and Joe will be joined by:
Joe DeCarolis has now left the US Energy Information Administration as its administrator and returned to academia.
Shaping up to be an interesting event?
with best wishes, Robbie
Dear open modellers,
A hybrid online/public event in Brussels to advertise on 8th May:
"Europe's energy information problem"
https://www.bruegel.org/event/europes-energy-information-problem
A discussion between the former EIA administrator and active openmodder Joe DeCarolis, Bruegel's Georg Zachmann and me.
Topic: ensuring access to timely, validated, open data & models for our energy system to tackle the range of challenges we face (climate, security, competitiveness, consumer prices, resilience, take your pick).
For background see the Bruegel briefing I shared a few months ago:
https://www.bruegel.org/policy-brief/europes-energy-information-problem
On a personal note, I haven't seen Joe in person since the 3rd openmod workshop in London in 2015, so am particularly excited for this discussion!

Best wishes,
Tom

Sorry, the Database Directive was passed
in 1996, the ENTSO‑E Transparency Platform came into law in
2013.
