Title:
“Provision of Consultancy Support for Development of a Smart Meter Data Access Code” Description
Main site or place of performance: Dublin
Description of the procurement:
“Work on the Smart Meter Data Access Code (“the Code”) needs to be progressed in 2021 and 2022 to ensure the activities envisaged under the CEP are made...”
Description of the procurement
Work on the Smart Meter Data Access Code (“the Code”) needs to be progressed in 2021 and 2022 to ensure the activities envisaged under the CEP are made possible. Requirements for the preferred Tenderer will include drafting a Smart Meter Data Access Code for consultation, supporting the work on a CRU consultation paper, developing a final version of the Code and supporting work on a CRU decision paper. It is expected that this will involve stakeholder engagement, representing the CRU at various forums and oversight of the implementation of the Code post publication.
This Code will set out certain rules for processing data from smart meters. The Code will establish which entities can use the customers’ smart meter data, for what purposes and under which conditions. It will define the purposes for which customers’ personal data can be used by ESB Networks in its’ role as the Distribution Network Operator, by Energy Suppliers who are providing a service to customers, other parties such as SEAI, the CSO for research purposes and other actors in the energy market whose role is set out in the CEP. This will include aggregators and demand side response providers. The intention is for this Code to establish a basis for market participants, including the DSO, to use meter data for network planning, real time grid management and information provision purposes.
European and international examples will inform the development of the Code for Ireland and it is envisaged that the preferred Tenderer will have considerable technical experience of the approach taken elsewhere. The Tenderer should have an understanding of energy markets and smart metering systems, particularly with defining rules for access to smart metering data of the final customer. It is preferable but not required for the Tenderer to have experience in preparing legal documents.
