The Open Sustainability Policy Summit

The Carbon Data Specification Consortium (CDSC) has been working on writing new standards for securely and properly accessing both Customer Data (via Working Group 1) and Power Systems Data (via Working Group 2), which are two critical data needs for carbon tracking and accounting. In this presentation, Working Group 1 maintainer Daniel Roesler will present an overview of the Customer Data specification drafts from CDSC, as well as discuss the positive impact they can have on energy and carbon management regulations. Because of the sensitive and private nature of individual customer energy usage and account data, these specifications dive into the world of how to manage customer consent, as well as best practices for securely handling private customer data. Working Group 1 is also looking to expand participation from relevant stakeholders, so you if you want to help figure out proper and secure access to private customer energy use and account data, come learn how to get involved.
