Joint Industrial Statement on the Data Act
This joint letter highlights WindEurope’ s concerns with the European Data Act proposed by the European Commission. The undersigned organisations highlight the outstanding issues to be considered as negotiations between European Institutions on such proposal are to start in June 2023. We call on co-legislators to:
- Harmonise EU energy data sharing rules.
- Build the common energy data space in the Data Act supported by an official data catalogue.
- Protect trade secrets.
- Ensure that a future sector specific law on energy data sharing takes precedence over the General provisions of the Data Act.
