Responsible And Safe Home Metering: How to Design A Privacy-Friendly Metering System?
metering infrastructure, privacy, data protection
The
European directive on energy efficiency requires that all meters in
multi-apartment buildings installed after 25 October 2020 shall be
remotely readable devices when technically feasible and cost-effective
in terms of being proportionate to the potential energy savings. The
European Commission Recommendation of 9 March 2012 on preparations for
the roll-out of smart metering systems (2012/148/EU) explicitly mentions
that smart metering predominantly processes personal data. This chapter
recommends how to design a metering system that fully conforms to legal
regulations. The main contribution is the recommendation of eight steps
for data controllers that make metering systems legally compliant.
Additionally, the chapter lists recommendations for smart meter
manufacturers that remove the burden of being a controller of the
processing. The recommendations apply to the distribution of
electricity, water, gas, heat, cooling, and other energies. The chapter
shows that the recommendations can be generalized for smart home
deployments.
