IB1 response to SEC’s Addition of Public Task and Legitimate Interests consultation

This is Icebreaker One’s response to The Smart Energy Code’s Addition of Public Task and Legitimate Interests into the SEC Consultation. 

Please note that throughout this consultation, Icebreaker One uses the terms Open, Shared and Closed data as defined here.

If you have any questions about our submission or require clarifications please do not hesitate to contact us via policy@ib1.org. We have omitted questions which we did not answer.

Consultation response:

Do you agree with the proposed implementation approach? Yes.

Rationale: We appreciate that there is a governance in place to discuss and approve the proposed implementation. We would welcome further transparency on the outcomes of applications to access data via this method and suggest that a summary of cases are made openly available after a 6-12 month trial period. Ongoing avenues for scrutiny remain important.

Please provide any further comments you may have.

As we are looking holistically at the smart meter data landscape, we will continue to work with the SEC and engage as it develops on a case by case basis and impacts wider use cases.
