Our Perspective
The landscape for energy data is rapidly changing as industry programmes accelerate toward digital-first operations, consumer empowerment, and smart infrastructure. Auth.Energy is actively participating in several initiatives—from the rollout of the Smart Data Infrastructure, to pilot programmes for market-wide half-hourly settlement, and collaborative efforts to define best practices for consent management. We believe:- Transparency and simplicity should be the foundation of energy data journeys.
- End-users deserve visibility and control over how their data is accessed and used.
- The future energy ecosystem must balance innovation with robust security and compliance.
Design Principles
Our approach is shaped by ongoing engagement with regulators, suppliers, and technology platforms. We strive for:- Modular, API-first architecture supporting diverse integration pathways.
- UX patterns prioritising clarity, consent granularity, and minimal friction for users and partners.
- Adherence to government privacy frameworks and GDPR, with enhanced audit and reporting capabilities.
Industry Programmes and Commentary
We’re monitoring and contributing to programmes including:- Government’s Smart Data initiative: Developing interoperability standards for consumer data portability and privacy.
- Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement: Building tooling for timely, accurate metering data exchange and user permissions.
- Flexibility and VPP schemes: Designing scalable authentication for emerging distributed energy platforms.
