In late 2014 in the competitive regions of Texas, Third Parties that have Customer authorization began to access Customer smart meter information and to communicate with Customer HAN devices through the functionality provided by the interoperable Smart Meter TexasTM (SMT) solution. One of the key functions provided by SMT is a convenient and easy to use process whereby a Customer may grant Third Parties access to their electrical usage information and to communicate with their Home Area Network (HAN) devices. This document is designed to provide a high level understanding of the Third Party functionality provided by SMT. By making information about the SMT Third Party functionality publicly available, this document aspires to extend the value of this smart grid solution in the following ways:
Background and ContextTexas was an early adopter of legislation and regulations regarding access to smart meter usage data. In 2007, the Texas legislature adopted HB 3693 encouraging Transmission and Distribution Service Providers (TDSPs) to deploy smart grid networks as rapidly as possible. In that same year, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) adopted the Advanced Metering rule1 setting forth the requirements for TDSP advanced metering deployments and initiated the Advanced Metering Implementation Project2 to defined requirements for a data depository, data exchange between market participants and interfaces for the successful deployment of HAN devices. Within the advanced metering implementation project, Texas market participants developed the SMT solution to satisfy the requirements of the PUCT advanced metering rule. SMT made smart meter usage data available to Customers and the Customer’s Retail Electric Provider (i.e., REP of record, ROR) by early 2010. In 2011 on a national level, the Green Button initiative challenged utilities to give Customers access to their energy usage information by downloading it in an easy-to-read industry standard format. SMT implemented the concept of the Green Button initiative over a year prior to the issuance of the Green Button challenge.
