How would we collect your smart meter data?

UCL are an accredited Party to the Smart Energy Code (SEC), the UK legislation that governs access to smart meter data. CGI (an accredited SEC Party and DCC User) provide a technical service that connects to the national smart meter communication network (the DCC Gateway) which would remotely collect your smart meter data and securely transfer it to the UK Data Archive at Essex University (who are partners in this research project and manage your data for UCL). We would collect your data completely independently of your energy company, who would not be made aware of your participation in this project.
