Customer Data Working Group (WG3)

This is the homepage of the Customer Data Working Group (WG3), part of the Carbon Data Specification Consortium (CDSC), an LF Energy project.

Scope

This working group focuses on writing free, open specifications for providing utility customer data access, in order to facilitate carbon emissions calculations and decarbonization efforts.

Use Cases

We have defined several broad categories of use cases we will focus on addressing, along with what customer data types and functionalities will need to be specified to accommodate those use cases.

We’ve also made a list of what data and functionality is specifically not in scope.

Specifications

These are the official specifications written by this working group.

If you would like to contribute to these specifications, please see our docs on Contributing and Design Principles.
