Discusses privacy and cybersecurity concerns regarding consumer data collected by residential smart meters, which record near-real time data on consumer electricity usage and transmit this data to utilities via communications networks that serve the smart grid to increase energy efficiency, bolster electric power grid reliability, and facilitate demand response. Examines Fourth Amendment concerns, statutory protections of smart meter data, and privacy safeguards provided under the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Federal Privacy Act of 1974.
