New Offering will help support development
of innovative solutions for customers
The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) has given the green light
to a proposal by ComEd that allows companies and researchers access
to anonymous energy usage data in order to enable the development
of new products and services that will add value to Illinois energy
consumers.
ComEd is one of the first utilities to offer such a program,
which has the potential to spur new offerings from smart home and
appliance manufacturers, HVAC and lighting companies, market
researchers and energy management specialists, according to Val
Jensen, senior vice president, Customer Operations, ComEd.
Anonymous usage data is a compilation of energy usage statistics
that do not include any customers' personal identification,
ensuring the confidentiality of customer-specific usage
information. The new program will open access to unidentified
interval energy usage data for all zip codes where smart meters
have been deployed.
“One of the great benefits of smart meter technology is the
availability of data that will enable a growing sector of energy
tech companies to design new products and pricing programs that
will help customers save money and meet the growing interest for
more choice and personalized services,” said Jensen. “This is an
industry-leading offering that was developed with input from
regulators, stakeholders, educators and entrepreneurs, so we’re
confident it will serve the interests of the marketplace while
reinforcing our commitment to protecting customer information.”
ComEd has installed 3 million smart meters in northern Illinois
since deployment began in 2013 and it will complete the
installation of 4 million smart meters in 2018. The Anonymous Data
offering builds upon the Green Button Initiative, a joint effort
among utilities and technology companies launched in 2012 that
enables customers to download their energy usage data and use it to
take advantage of online energy management services; customers also
have the option of voluntarily sharing their specific data usage
with third party providers.
