The EU Data Act: what it means for the energy industry

On September 12, 2025, the EU Data Act became fully applicable across the EU.

Over the past weeks, we’ve explored the regulation in detail: what it covers, what it means in practice, and how energy companies can go beyond compliance to create real value. Now we’ve brought those insights together into one comprehensive report: The EU Data Act: what it means for the energy industry.

Why this matters

The EU Data Act is not just another piece of regulation. It’s a structural shift in how data flows across the energy ecosystem:

• Users gain the right to access, control, and share the data their devices generate.
• Manufacturers must provide interfaces, user consent systems, and portability.
• Energy apps and aggregators will see integrations speed up and ecosystems expand.

The result is clear: an open, interoperable energy ecosystem, where user choice becomes the baseline.

What you’ll find in the report

In the report we cover:

• The core provisions of the Data Act and how enforcement works.
• The implications for Evs, EV chargers, batteries, solar inverters, HVAC, and the apps that connect them.
• Market dynamics we expect in the first year of the regulation.
• A readiness checklist for manufacturers and service providers.
• Lessons from Open Banking that show how openness can accelerate innovation.

The opportunity ahead

The Data Act sets the rules. The companies that win will be those that treat it as a foundation — building openness, trust, and interoperability into their products.
