The Work  /  Data Framework Working Group
Ops Center Program

A common language for utility data.

Building the shared data foundation for utility digital transformation, so member data speaks a common language and operating decisions rest on something solid.

What it is

The Data Framework Working Group builds the shared data foundation utility digital transformation depends on. Most utilities are sitting on the same questions about definitions, structure, and governance, and answering them in isolation produces data that cannot be compared system to system.

The group is organized around AEIC's Integrated System Planning and Operations Data Strategy Framework, which connects data strategy to the operating decisions it is supposed to inform. It is the foundation the Center's other programs, from forecasting to grid advancement, build on.
