{estimated: 2 hours}
"Green Button: Powering the Grid-of-the-Future"
Marriott Downtown at CF Toronto Eaton Centre & Online
— Recording to be posted here, soon —
To advance a smart energy future, visionary policy-makers, utilities and innovators are collaborating to deliver effective policies that call for open, secure energy data-access and data-sharing solutions that protect consumer privacy, while also providing a consistent foundation for scaling new energy-data -driven apps and services including demand-side management, EV and DER solutions.
Attendees were invited to learn first-hand about the Green Button policy successes and active Green Button roll-outs occurring across Ontario, and in U.S. markets, and how standards-based and accessible Green Button implementations are today empowering utilities, companies and consumers to easily participate in energy management; streamlined energy reporting and benchmarking; rapid deployment of clean-energy solutions; and together, are helping to meet decarbonization goals.

This year's Annual General Meeting was open to the public. We invite you to view the meeting to learn from some great speakers, see our accomplishments, hear discussion of today's hot topics for usage data, and to learning about where we're headed next. We hope you enjoy it.
Standardization of Private Data in Energy Markets (2021-02-23)
{2 hours, 54 minutes}
"#RaisingTheWorldsStandards"
“Increasingly, private data (both personal data and commercially sensitive data) is being made available in energy markets. This workshop will provide views from grid operators, startups, European Commission, US government, and other organizations on the evolving rules for the use of data in energy markets in both Europe and North America. It will also address possibilities for standardization around topics such as consent management of data and flexibility markets.
“Featured Speakers will include Giulia Serra, European Commission, DG ENER; Jeremy Roberts, Green Button Alliance; and Georg Hartner, Austrian Energy, EU Smart Grid Task Force EG1.
“This webinar is co-organized by IEEE SA and Elering.”

Facilitating interoperability of energy services in Europe (2020-07-01)
{62 minutes, 15 seconds}
"Interoperability: (what) can we learn from the existing experiences?"
Reaching and maintaining the interoperability of energy services in Europe is a complex challenge. However, previous experiences with interoperability exist in the electricity and the healthcare sector that Europe could draw inspiration from.
the North American Green Button initiative for utility customer data;
the ENTSO-E approach to support data exchange requirements related to European electricity market and system operation; and
the long-standing experience with interoperability in the healthcare and eHealth sector.
You will hear about the views of European Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and the steps they are taking to reach interoperability.
Together with these expert panelists, FSR/EUI explores the relevant use cases per initiative; looks at the methods, standards and tools that are used; and assesses whether these can be (partially) applied to the challenge that lies ahead for Europe.

“Customer privacy and the safe handling of personal data are top of mind with your customers.”
Learn about the U.S. Department of Energy's DataGuard Energy Data Privacy Program, which offers a framework for assuring utility-customer privacy and the responsible handling of customers' personal, energy-usage data.
The U.S. DOE, new DataGuard Partnership Program members: the Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative and the Green Button Alliance, and early DataGuard adopter: UtilityAPI, look forward to sharing the DataGuard program principles and how DataGuard can benefit data-sharing companies and their customers. You'll hear from GBA members and staff:
Nathan Shannon (Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative)
Eric Lightner (United States Department of Energy)
Daniel Roesler (UtilityAPI)
Jeremy J. Roberts (Green Button Alliance)
