Abstract |
As global interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to grow, the demand for data, a key resource for AI, is rapidly increasing. In the energy sector, the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is accelerating, leading to the exponential accumulation of large-scale data. However, existing energy laws and regulations remain primarily focused on energy supply and regulation, raising concerns about their ability to effectively address these evolving circumstances. This study examines the legal and institutional improvements needed to promote the sharing and utilization of energy data, based on these issues. It investigates the current status of major domestic laws and regulations related to energy data and compares them with the legal frameworks of key foreign countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Based on this analysis, the study proposes legislative improvements to enhance energy data sharing and utilization. These include establishing a national energy data sharing and utilization system, fostering a competitive environment for the free exchange of energy data, ensuring the alignment between data protection and energy data utilization, and proposing legislative and policy measures for energy data. |
