Data Exchange with State Data Agency

A secure, structured data exchange between ESO (the electricity distribution system operator) and the State Data Agency (VDA) connects energy consumption data with state registries. This unlocks higher-quality insights for grid planning and produces richer, more contextual data sets to support research, policymaking, and official statistics.

Energy consumption datasets and state registry information were historically siloed and analyzed separately. This limited ESO’s ability to anticipate electrification hotspots, slowed investment planning and constrained the accuracy of official statistics. Open datasets lacked sufficient contextual detail for robust external analysis, while traditional census and monitoring methods were costly and slower to reflect real-world changes.

• Integrated data environment: Establish continuous, secure data exchange with VDA to link ESO data with state registers inside the VDA Analytical Space.
• Smarter grid planning: Use combined indicators (e.g., population shifts, land-use changes, construction permits, industrial activity) to identify rapidly electrifying areas and target network investment more precisely.
• Enriched open datasets: Publish anonymized, geographic grid level electricity consumption datasets joined with other registries data, enabling deeper insights for academia, consultants, and businesses.
• Policy and statistics enablement: Support VDA in refining official statistics, modernizing census methods and powering data driven state analyses such as climate change risk monitoring, energy-poverty assessment, building-renovation progress and etc..
• Privacy & security by design: Data are anonymized, encrypted, and governed by strict disclosure controls to maintain the highest confidentiality standards.

Launched: Data integration for continuous ESO–VDA data exchange.

First open data sets: Initial anonymized open datasets are available on Lithuania’s Open Data Portal (data.gov.lt).

Next steps: Expand dataset coverage, refine grid-planning models with additional registries and continue strengthening governance and disclosure controls to scale benefits for ESO, VDA, and the public.
