Assessing Digital Sovereignty in Energy Systems

Digitalisation has become a foundational enabler of modern energy systems, enabling new insights, planning and optimization opportunities. As countries expand renewable generation, electrify end-use sectors, and deploy distributed energy resources, dependence on digital technologies and infrastructures such as communication networks, cloud services, and artificial intelligence continues to grow. This increased reliance introduces challenges related to digital sovereignty, including exposure to foreign technologies, cybersecurity risks, geopolitically motivated access restrictions, and market concentration in critical digital services. Despite the rising policy relevance of the growing reliance on digital technology in energy systems around the world, no comparative, data-driven analyses exist to quantify countries’ dependence on digital technologies in the energy sector.
