4. Project Objectives
 Core questions:
- Own infrastructure or third party
infrastructure?
- Which parameters apply for setting up
these systems?
 Based on the experiences and best-practice
approaches
 Cost Benefit analysis for various options for
establishing ICT Infrastructure
 Support for future ICT infrastructure projects
in the energy sector
