Building Trust Through Ethical Data Sharing

Why EDT Exists

Energy data is the raw material of transformation. Whether you’re planning infrastructure, optimizing demand, or creating new consumer-facing products, data fuels the energy evolution.

But today, access to that data is fragmented, inconsistent, and often siloed.

Energy Data Trust exists to change that.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to:

  • Enable secure, ethical sharing of energy and energy-adjacent data.

  • Provide a neutral governance framework trusted by industry, government, academia, and consumers.

  • Serve as a shared digital asset that accelerates solutions to our most pressing energy challenges.

  • Strengthen Canada’s leadership role in building a globally connected and responsible energy data ecosystem.

  • Support energy data use that delivers benefits to organizations, end-users, and society at large.

EDT is not about centralizing control—it’s about enabling interoperability, access, and innovation across borders and sectors.
