Interval data monetization and third-party analytics access rights decide who can see your facility's 15-minute meter data, what they may do with it, and what you get in return for it.

This is Energy Decision #59 in the complete C&I energy management series by Daniel Burke. It's part of his mission to create the world's largest, free, high-trust energy resource library for commercial and industrial consumers.

In this episode, Daniel Burke covers:

- What interval meter data is, and why more than 35,000 readings a year reveal far more than 12 monthly bills

- What a whole building load profile can reveal about production schedules and capacity

- Who owns my facility's interval meter data, and how customer energy data consent works

- Aggregated energy data versus site-specific data

- Green Button Connect My Data versus utility NDA data sharing

- Read-only analytics versus VPP aggregator data access that carries control commands

- The data deletion clause and the five-year data retention precedent from a Minnesota PUC data access order

- Value-sharing, and what ComEd's Rider Interval Meter Usage Data shows about smart meter data monetization

- Writing one data access agreement for facilities in states with different rules

Who this is for: Facilities managers, operations directors, plant managers and CFOs at manufacturing plants, cold storage and food processing facilities, healthcare systems, data centers, multi-site retail chains and university campuses who are being asked to hand over interval meter data, sometimes as a condition of service.

If you're trying to decide whether to grant third-party data access to your interval meter data, and under what contract terms that protect your competitive information while capturing some of its value, this episode is built for you.
