Data sharing to support the training and development of AI foundation models in the energy sector

In short

This is an Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €30 million for about 3 grants of €10 million each. Deadline: 1 December 2026.

What the call wants to achieve

• Effective and innovative methods for gathering, sharing and using large data sets in energy applications for the purpose of training AI models while ensuring privacy and security.
• Advanced and - wherever possible - open-source AI foundation models to support the digitalisation of the energy system, through improved grid observability, forecasting of supply and demand, advanced storage and renewables integration, demand side flexibility and energy efficiency.
• Enhanced cooperation, knowledge sharing and interoperability among energy system actors for secure and seamless data exchange.
• Advanced methodologies for AI model development ensuring that the results are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) beyond the project ending, open source and accommodating for technology evolution.
