"Potential new smart data scheme to drive innovation and support consumers in the energy market" says Michael Shanks, Minister for Energy Another part of the future consumer energy landscape arrives with this new call for evidence relating to a Consumer Smart Energy Open Data model comparable with Open Banking. It is published by Department for Energy Security and Net Zero today at https://lnkd.in/euKMZh7V. Their LinkedIn post here is at https://lnkd.in/evRd7Sv8 This is the next step on from today's DCC 'Other User' service into a wider framework of secure data access between consumers and innovating providers on the basis of consent given consistently. It is an area I worked on extensively at PA Consulting and now as Coylenergy ltd. In my work I engage on the building blocks emerging across data access, consent, sharing, flexibility frameworks and more to consider the new consumer energy technical foundation to combine with technology provider innovation in tariffs, technology and business models. It is interesting this is published today when the Prime Minister launches the AI Opportunities Action Plan at https://lnkd.in/e4vmQ4N8. The shift to combine artificial and human intelligence is underway, as we can see in such as the Grid Foundational AI models described by Smart Energy International at https://lnkd.in/ezrpF328. This now means we need to focus on the delivering benefit balanced in equal part with mitigating new risks of data access, accuracy verification, cyber security and unintended operational outcomes.

For those in my network seeking to join us there as part of a wide group of technology companies, consumer advocates, advisors and innovators let me know at [email protected]. This is the start of a sector wide focus on this next era of energy benefit.
