We believe in an energy transition that improves lives and enhances biodiversity.

Renewables Grid Initiative

The electricity system is increasingly facing significant impacts from climate change and extreme weather events, requiring adequate planning to ensure its resiliency and stability.

In this context, the European Commission initiative, 

 aims to develop a highly accurate digital model of the Earth to monitor and predict the interaction between natural phenomena and human activities.

For the energy sector, several activities within DestinE have been started to demonstrate the capabilities of the Digital Twins, including Use Cases, ML Demonstrators and Pilot Services. Efforts have been made to expose these activities, their outputs and relevance to energy-sector stakeholders and decision-making processes, including the 

2024 Webinar ‘Modelling for climate resilience and adaptation’.

 However, more active engagement is required to better align these activities with the changing needs of energy users and changing regulatory and policy requirements in Europe.

Engaging users with DestinE’s energy research

Organised by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI), in collaboration with Aarhus University, DestinE’s upcoming public workshop aims to strengthen cooperation and co-design activities of the initiative’s energy research with relevant stakeholders 

Workshop discussions will inform DestinE’s energy research applications and future avenues, identifying how to support industry and other stakeholder’s pro-active contribution to designing and operating the future European energy system. 

To achieve this, the workshop will be held in a “World Café” format, in which participants will have the opportunity to discuss different topics such as 

machine learning, extreme events and more

This workshop complements a dedicated session on energy during the DestinE 5th User eXchange event (

) in Brussels on 10 June (14:05 – 15:05 CET). Participants of this public workshop must register for the UX5 event in due time to enter the venue.
