The 7th International Workshop on Energy Data and Analytics (EDA) is part of the 17th ACM International Conference on Future and Sustainable Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy 2026), which takes place within the inaugural ACM Sustainability Week at the Banff Centre (Banff, Canada). The workshop will be held on June 22, 2026, during the conference’s affiliated workshops and tutorials day. The main conference runs from June 23–25, 2026.

Workshop Organizers: Astrid Nieße, Leoni Winschermann, Veit Hagenmeyer

Abstract: The design of efficient, eco-friendly, and scalable energy systems is critical to addressing the environmental impacts of current energy practices, with renewable energy offering vast untapped potential. This workshop focuses on leveraging data-driven approaches and FAIR principles to enhance energy system innovation, addressing challenges in data availability, processing, and applications such as supply-demand predictions, predictive maintenance, and privacy-conscious analysis. With a special focus on FAIR data and the challenges and opportunities of research data and software since 2025, we invite experts from academia and industry to discuss their experiences and best practices in this domain.

The workshop invites submissions on the following topics – all of them specific to energy data or energy systems and their characteristics:

New approaches and techniques to analyze energy data and turn it into actionable insights
Data science for energy data
Tools and techniques for management and archival of energy data
Measurement data from field studies and real-world systems
Data from simulations of energy systems
Synthetic data generation techniques
Data visualization
Data integration and data quality issues
Data privacy and anonymization techniques
Modeling and representation of energy‐specific knowledge
Reusability of research data: challenges and success stories
Industrial data and IP-related challenges for data exchange
