Notice Information

Notice Title

Smart Meter Data

Notice Description

Context and Purpose of the Pre-Market Engagement; Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) is seeking to appoint a suitable qualified and capable Supplier as ESC Delivery Partner to supply Smart Meter Data for the Living Lab. While there are many options for testing domestic energy products in a laboratory environment there are few, if any, options of testing products in a controlled real-world environment. The gap between laboratory testing and market release is very wide and products fail as innovators have not fully appreciated how consumers will interact with them. Alternatively, some products will never even make it to testing as routes to market are blocked by legal conditions. ESC's Living Lab provides innovators and regulators a place to test products and services with real consumers in a controlled and managed environment. To really understand the performance of some products and services, access to accurate and reliable energy consumption data is key. The Living Lab currently has a cloud-based mechanism for gathering data from third party devices installed in Participants homes by using APIs to collect data from the supplier's cloud. The intention is to extend this functionality to include data collected by Smart Meters and this is the purpose of this request for information on the feasibility of achieving this in an efficient manner using existing products or services and the cost, timescales and challenges that may be involved.
