The Home Data + Clean Energy Connection

What will the next wave in clean energy need? smart meter/smart home data like rooftop solar, in-home energy storage systems, electric vehicles and smart home technologies like app-controlled lighting and smart thermostats

How does this translate to regulation and legislation?

• A need for policy leadership
• Creation of regulations governing the intersection of smart homes and smart grids
• Clear rules/laws surrounding data ownership and security between consumer devices and utilities
• Utility data such as the value of distributed energy resources for critical grid services, including voltage regulation, frequency stabilization, energy arbitrage, peak demand reduction and ramping reserves
• Incentives for utilities to tackle this data

That’s a lot, what are the 3 big buckets of data? data ownership, data access and grid security
