Governance policy of digitalization
in the energy sector
Geneva, 2024
Introduction
The challenge of climate change is prompting diverse approaches to the global energy transition
across different regions:
- Europe largely focuses on integrating renewable energy sources (RES) and achieving netzero emissions;
- North America emphasizes energy independence and innovation in clean technologies;
- Sub-Saharan Africa and many developing regions prioritize sustainable expansion of
access to electricity;
- In Asia, the primary goal is to meet the rapidly increasing energy demand sustainably,
balancing economic growth with environmental considerations.
Digitalization has the potential to revolutionize energy systems by optimizing energy production,
distribution, and consumption through advanced technologies like smart grids, Internet of Things
(IoT),
blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ Machine Learning (ML). These technologies offer
real-time data management and analytics, improving energy efficiency and reliability while
supporting a more seamless integration of RES, including by enabling new business models in
demand response and peer-to-peer local and flexibility trading. From a governance perspective,
digitalization can improve transparency and accountability, ensure equitable access to energy
including citizen participation in energy markets, engaging a broader range of stakeholders in
decision-making processes and addressing the needs and aspirations of all segments of society,
including the most vulnerable.
Viewing the digital transformation of the energy system through a governance lens is essential
to navigate the emerging opportunities and challenges of an increasingly distributed energy
market. By adopting a proactive approach, governance can harness digital technologies to
improve monitoring, forecasting, and decision-making processes, ensuring that the energy
transition is both efficient and inclusive. This approach also provides the flexibility to adapt to
emerging challenges, such as data privacy concerns, the digital divide, low standardization and
compatibility across different technologies and regions, the difficulty of balancing rapid
innovation with the need for effective regulation, the need for digital and energy literacy and
new skills and expertise, environmental concerns related to digital technologies, and the
necessity for strong cybersecurity measures. Effective governance must navigate these
complexities to harness the full potential of digital technologies while safeguarding the interests
of all stakeholders.
Therefore, the digital transformation of energy systems presents a unique intersection of
technological advancement and governance innovation. By leveraging digital tools within a
robust energy governance framework, stakeholders can achieve a more resilient, secure,
sustainable, and inclusive energy future.

https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/japanese-giant-sbi-to-create-a-wallet-for-its-vctrade-crypto-exchange-1658226Japanese SBI Group, one of the leading global financial services providers, has teamed up with Danish cryptographic company Sepior to create a virtual asset proprietary wallet jointly. The new service, which comes amid growing regulatory scrutiny in Asia, will be integrated into the SBI digital currency exchange VCTRADE, according to a Sepior press release from Monday.
SBI chose the Danish firm’s software due to its multiparty computation (MPC) software called Threshold-Sig Wallet Security. Sepior claims that this technology guarantees a high-level degree of protection for the encryption key.

17 Oct 2019 — The Confidential Computing Consortium will help companies and users understand its benefits and apply these new security capabilities to their needs.
https://confidentialcomputing.io/about/members/Wow, almost every one of of the worlds biggest companies have join the CCC....check the list.....
Heres just one of the many members working with another CCC member...NVIDA+Anjuna.....
https://www.enterpriseai.news/2024/04/03/nvidia-exec-secure-ai-economies-could-help-everyone-profit/An Nvidia executive shared a bold vision of AI economies where individuals and companies can sell their AI assets, such as data, software, or models, without compromising their intellectual property.
There’s a critical underlying technology required: confidential AI, which will help parties build secure vaults to protect their AI assets.
The emerging concept of “confidential AI” involves creating a trusted computing environment in which AI data is securely stored, transferred, and processed without being leaked.
The AI assets of users, including foundation models, can be stored in secure containers that can only be accessed by authorized parties after many authentication techniques.
That’s similar to establishing small storefronts with individuals selling their AI assets, with trustworthy relationships between the buyers and sellers. The third-party can’t see the AI asset and can only see the output.
“If that happens, we just opened up an economy of people with data, AI software, foundation models, infrastructures, and specialization that allows new business models to happen,” said Ian Buck, vice president and general manager of hyperscale and HPC computing at Nvidia, during a panel discussion at the Open Confidential Computing Conference in March.
