Dear readers,

The 1st Energy Informatics. Academy Conference Asia (EI.A Asia 2021) (EnergyInformatics.Academy, 2021a) has collected great contributions from researchers and practitioners in various scientific, technological, engineering and social fields to disseminate original research on the application of digital technology and information management theory and practice to facilitate the global transition towards sustainable and resilient energy systems.

With the whole technical program committee’s effort, in total 25 high-quality papers (including 21 full papers and 3 poster abstracts) were accepted and presented at the conference.

This supplement of the proceedings of Energy Informatics. Academy (EI.A) Asia 2021 includes 21 full papers from the EI. A Asia 2021 conference submission. Meanwhile, the 3 poster abstracts from the EI. A Asia 2021 conference submission and 10 from the co-located EI. A - SDC Asia 2021 Ph.D. workshop are included in the ‘Abstracts from the Energy Informatics. Academy Asia 2021 conference and PhD workshop’.

The 21 full papers cover 7 important aspects of the energy informatics domain (shown in Table 1):

• Energy systems

• Energy in buildings

• Energy communities

• Electric Vehicles

• Energy in industry

• Energy markets

• Energy policy & regulation

The presentations for these 21 full papers and 6 keynote speeches (shown in Table 2) are recorded and available via EnergyInformatics. Academy YouTube channel (EnergyInformatics.Academy, 2021b; EnergyInformatics.Academy, 2021c).

Sincerely,
