GHR Energy Law Quarterly - Oktober 2023 - Data protection in connection with the use of smart metering systems in Switzerland
The classic electricity meter is considered to be a discontinued model in Switzerland, because within the framework of the energy strategy it was stipulated that 80 % of the measuring devices in a grid area must be intelligent measuring systems by 2027. Such intelligent measuring systems, so-called smart meters, are installed at the end consumer's site. Compared to the classic electricity meter, smart meters are fundamentally capable of recording and documenting the electricity use of the end consumer at precise times, which raises a number of questions on the subject of data protection. This topic is also very up-to-date precisely because the duties for data processors have been expanded with the entry into force of the revised Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) on 1 September 2023. When using smart meters, network operators must therefore take into account various aspects from the perspective of data protection law. Reserved and not taken into account in this ELQ are specific requirements for federal bodies and any cantonal data protection laws applicable to network operators.
