Ofgem has rejected, in its current form, a modification to the Smart Energy Code which is designed to improve smart meter data sharing between energy retailers and third parties. The modification is intended to allow third parties to access energy consumption data without obtaining the customer’s unambiguous consent, which proposer Matthew Roderick, founder of digital services company n3rgy, argues would bring the rules in line with GDPR. Roderick believes Ofgem's rejection of the proposal could impact the number of customers participating in the demand flexibility service this winter.
