The Smart Grid Consumer Interface should include the following:
• Real-time access for the consumer to his/her own usage data
• Over the network the consumer chooses (e.g. IP-based)
• With the ability for the consumer to use the devices of his choosing
• And at his/her discretion the services of an open energy management provider of his/her choice
• To execute actions to manage his/her energy consumption
The Smart Grid should NOT specify a single or limited number of “approved” technologies in the consumer’s home limit the providers of energy management solutions to any limited number of technologies or providers (e.g. it should not favor the power companies or providers of specific technologies).
