The thing about smart meter data is that it gives a very intimate picture of life within the home. So you can tell when people within a house get up, you can tell when they’re cooking, when they go to sleep, when they’re home or when they’re away…. It isn’t as though you have the choice to decide to live your life in the open and tell your story to everybody; this information is collected from you automatically as part of your energy service.
