In this paper, we present an event handling framework for managing smart-grids and renewable energy installations: SmartSpace. Our framework aims at supporting decisions of human stakeholders, by providing adequate information to them. Different datasources feed into our framework and a variety of analysis and decision steps are supported. We are discussing potential data sources for decisions around smart energy systems and are focusing on spatio-temporal models of the involved data and operations to reason about them. Our models help to provide a semantic context for the data. Furthermore, we discuss the formalization of customized rules. Rules allow the specification of conditions under which information is provided to stakeholders. We exemplify our ideas and present our demonstrator which includes visualization capabilities.
