The increasing concerns over customer data privacy in the context of smart meter data access must be addressed. Customers want protection for their usage data while also gaining access to innovative services. The PUCT has called for a deeper analysis of the options available in the decision matrix. RAAWG aims to complete this analysis by June, examining the oversight responsibilities, the requirements for accessing data, and potential consequences of privacy breaches. It is also essential to understand the market dynamics regarding who can access this data.
