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.
