What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes energy as it flows through the world: the carriers energy takes (electricity, gas, heat, fuels), the sources that generate or transform it, the points that consume it, and the continuous reconciliation of supply and demand across balance areas.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Energy carriers, generation, consumption, balance
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model because energy obeys network physics and balance identities: quantities must reconcile per carrier, per area and per settlement period, a discipline that generic goods or financial models do not carry.
What robots and AI may and may not do Missing, in the backlog

Owners Filled
Steward
Grid and asset operators steward the records of their own assets, meters and balance areas, and a statistics office archetype stewards the published aggregates.
Links to other meta-models Filled
references
- world.landParcel - generation, storage and network assets are sited on identified parcels.
- world.organization - operators of assets and balance areas are organizations governed elsewhere.
- world.emission - fuel combustion and process activity recorded here serves as activity data for emission quantification.
composes
- world.money - imbalance settlement amounts embed the money value object rather than local amount fields.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
- generationRecorded: a generating unit delivered a quantified amount of a carrier in a period.
- consumptionMetered: a meter reading was taken at a consumption point.
- outageOccurred: a generation, storage or network asset became unavailable.
- storageCharged: a storage facility absorbed energy from the system.
- storageDischarged: a storage facility returned energy to the system.
- interchangeExecuted: a flow between balance areas was delivered and measured.
- balancePeriodClosed: supply, demand, storage and interchange were reconciled for an area and period.
Legacy events listed as state transitions.
Hazards and failure modes optional Missing, in the backlog
Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.
Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review
- meteringDataAccess: a consumption point owner or their delegate reads interval meter data for that point.
- aggregateBalanceFeed: a consumer receives per-area, per-period balance aggregates without per-meter detail.
- assetRegisterLookup: resolution of a generation or storage asset's descriptive record by identifier.
- publicEnergyBalance: national and area-level supply and demand aggregates by carrier; omits all per-asset and per-meter data.
- gridOperationsView: near-real-time state of areas, assets and interchange for operations; omits commercial and personal attributes.
- consumerUsageView: a single holder's own consumption points and readings; omits everything else.
Context of use required Filled
- Access to any record is granted by its steward through the catalogue's S1/S2 ownership and access models, with usage auditable via S4.
