Industry Leaders and Privacy Commissioner Collaborate to Map Way Forward for Smart Grid Privacy

Summary

SAN DIEGO – Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner, Dr. Ann Cavoukian, along with   Hydro One, GE, IBM and Telvent, today released a highly-anticipated report that shows the way forward for utilities working to embed privacy into the emerging Smart Grid.  

The new guidance document, which is based on a cutting-edge Smart Grid project in Owen Sound in Ontario, Canada, is the first of its kind, demonstrating how the principles of Privacy by Design – the gold standard for privacy – may be operationalized as a foundational requirement in emerging Smart Grid systems. Practical in scope, it shows how Privacy by Design works, from the ground up. The paper, entitled Operationalizing Privacy by Design: The Ontario Smart Grid Case Study, is available along with a backgrounder.
