Towards enabling observability of energy demand, with NEST

This work-in-progress paper introduces the project "Network for Energy Sustainable Transition" (NEST), whose overall objective is to conceive technologies facilitating the conversion and utilisation of renewable sources, ensuring sustainability across environmental, economic, and social dimensions. In this context, we use digitalisation as a facilitation vector and we describe the planned activities and preliminary results aiming at enhancing the real-time observability of energy demand by delivering a software service prototype to efficiently collect, store and retrieve data generated by different edge data generators.
