A case for open-source platforms and an “internet effect” as a model for digitalising the energy industry.
Context
First part of a two-part Missing Link interview at heise online. In conversation with Stefan Krempl: the argument that the energy industry needs the same kind of platform effect the open internet produced — built on open-source components, shared interfaces and an industry architecture that allows innovation to happen outside the incumbent utilities. Part two covers the security and future of energy supply. Role at the time: Chief Digital and IT Officer of 50Hertz Transmission GmbH.
