Energinet DataHub, Denmark's energy market facilitator, partnered with Halfspace to assess and provide strategic recommendations for the development of DataHub 3.0, enhancing the digital infrastructure of the Danish energy sector.

In Brief

Challenge

The key challenge was that the scope and complexity of the DataHub 3.0 project was significantly higher than expected, and the organisation's transition to becoming an IT development organisation was a significant change.

Solution

Halfspace conducted a comprehensive assessment, including qualitative and quantitative analyses, to provide Energinet DataHub with clear guidance and recommendations for the further development of DataHub 3.0.

Takeaway

When implementing complex technological solutions, it is crucial to thoroughly assess the potential risks and vulnerabilities in the specific context, and to consider not only the technical foundation but also the surrounding organisational ecosystem.

The background →

Defining the future digital energy infrastructure in Denmark

The Danish DataHub facilitates and automates the execution of market processes and business transactions in the Danish energy retail market. Meter readings from approximately 3.3 million metering points (consumption and production) are registered and managed in the DataHub system for settlement purposes. The purpose of DataHub is to ensure uniform communication methods and standardised processes for professional participants in the electricity market in order to stimulate competition and optimise market conditions for electricity consumers.

In 2019, the work for a new DataHub 3.0 started. The vision was to create a platform with high reliability, scalability and flexibility. To continue driving this vision, the organisation Energinet DataHub needed stronger insights and guidelines regarding the reusability of what had already been developed, as well as alignment on the future development of DataHub 3.0.

They engaged with a team of expert advisors and senior engineers from Halfspace to conduct a full assessment and recommendation report. The report contained essential evaluations and recommendations that could push the progress forward. Through heavy stakeholder involvement and a deep technical review, the team evaluated the current state of DataHub 3.0.

Assessing risks and vulnerabilities in complex technological solutions

Thoroughly assessing the technical and organisational context is crucial when implementing complex technological solutions to identify potential pitfalls and develop a clear strategy with detailed guidelines.

Adopting a holistic approach to data foundations

Dealing with data foundations, such as the Danish DataHub, requires expanding the scope of analysis beyond the technical components to understand the broader ecosystem and align solutions with stakeholder needs.

Ensuring organisational readiness for ambitious technological projects

Thoroughly assessing an organisation's maturity and capabilities is essential before embarking on ambitious technological projects to address potential challenges and increase the chances of successful implementation.
