BSC Panel consults on rule changes to pave the way for launching the Smart Data Repository
Summary
The BSC Panel is consulting on code changes to establish governance arrangements for the Smart Data Repository, scheduled to launch later in 2026. The repository will centralise smart meter data to support market operations and grid management. This is implementation detail for an already-decided policy rather than a new structural reform.
Why it matters
This consultation addresses the administrative machinery needed to operationalise smart meter data aggregation — necessary infrastructure but not a market structure change. The significance lies in whether the governance framework creates barriers to data access or enables broader market participation through standardised data provision.
