As a part of preparation tasks, each project partner selected and characterize 2 databases thematically related to the area of power transmission and distribution networks. Therefore, as part of the preliminary work 8 databases were selected and used in further analysis during the workshop (databases verified: OPSD, EIA, . OpenEI, PSE, NREL, ENTSO-E, SMARD, The World bank data). During the workshop the databases were analyzed based on the methodology developed by: Swiss National Science Fundation (Explanation of the FAIR data principles-Wilkinson et al. (2016), The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship, Scientific Data 3, doi:10.1038/sdata.2016.18).

As part of conducted assessment the databases have been characterized, the percentage of compliance with FAIR/O criteria was indicated, and base elements/ requiring improvement were indicated.

A summary of the analysis performed for each database is provided below.

database 1: ENTSO-E Short description: Central collection and publication of electricity generation, transportation and consumption data and information for the pan-European market. Main data categories are: Load, generation, transmission, balancing, outages, congestion management, system operations. It covers data from the starting year 2014 in hourly resolution. Current State of FAIR/O pronciples: F1 50 % - F2 50% - F3 20% - F4 100% A1.1 100% - A1.2 100% - A2 50% I1 100% - I2 80% - I3 100% R1.1 50% - R1.2 50% - R1.3 90% Indication of the elements requiring improvement:.................

database 2: SMARD (Strommarktdaten) short description: Electricity market information platform of German Federal Network Agency Bundesnetzagentur (BnetzA). It presents the most important electricity market data for Germany containing electricity market data such as electricity generation, consumption, import and export, market balancing and power plants in different periods of time (i.e. power plants data between 2015-2025 in hourly resolution, generation in 15 min.). Current State of FAIR/O pronciples: F1 50 % - F2 50% - F3 20% - F4 100% A1.1 100% - A1.2 100% - A2 50% I1 100% - I2 80% - I3 100% R1.1 50% - R1.2 50% - R1.3 90% Indication of the elements requiring improvement:.................

PROBLEMATIC ISSES: During the analysis, the problems related to incorrect interpretation of the FAIR/O assessment methodology were identified. Issues that need clarification: - deeper analysis is required for the criteria R1.1 "(Meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage licences - whether the inability to login with simultaneous open access to the data should be understood as an adventage or disadventage in terms of the criteria.This issues ic corelated with legal aspects of using data. Comment: For example the lack of a license creates a problem and often prevents the use of data. (https://open-power-system-data.org/legal#Licenses_for_open_data)

- deeper analysis is required for the criteria A1.2 "The protocol allows for an authentication and authorisation where necessary" - how to interpret the possibility or the inability to create an account by the database user?

- (meta)data frameworks should be described and clarified
