The future´s energy supply will be based on a smart network between all actors of the energy market. This results in the extensive communication of personal energy data from private households. In order to achieve the goals of the energy revolution, interests concerning the environment and climate protection will have to be conciliated with those regarding the protection of consumers´ data.
In this context, Smart Metering focuses on the details of privacy consent. Before the declaration of consent, the consumer has to be informed comprehensively and understandably about the data communication processes in the energy market to achieve the validity of the given consent. This work offers a solution applying the methods of legal informatics to realize transparency for consumers and the establishment of a smart energy supply.
