Energy Data Portal
Project Overview
Portal information
Impact
Our work with Energinet has resulted in an advanced, user-friendly gateway to their renewable energy data. The platform has been a game-changer for various user groups, including schools and energy consumers, who can now access comprehensive energy data with ease, enhancing their understanding and interactions with renewable energy. Furthermore, the transparency brought about by the new data infrastructure is fostering innovation in renewable energy while simultaneously promoting Energinet's mission of a sustainable energy future.
Datopian had the honor of collaborating with Energinet, Denmark's leading energy provider, for over two years, primarily on the development and ongoing improvement of the Energy Data Portal. As part of Energinet's mission to change the energy system and foster renewable energy usage that is both secure and affordable, we were entrusted with upgrading their data management systems for public data release and internal use. The project entailed not only the transformation of Energinet's existing CKAN 2.6 platform to CKAN 2.8 but also the creation of two key products: the Energi Data Portal - EDP (gateway to various data products at Energinet) and Energi Data Service - EDS, with CKAN.
