French watchdog warns energy firms over Linky data
Detailed consumption data obtained via Linky smart meters "may reveal information on people’s private lives" said the CNIL

Energy groups Engie and EDF have been formally warned for not respecting certain data privacy laws when using Linky smart meters, and given three months to conform.

French data privacy commission la Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) announced its terms today (Tuesday February 11).

It said it had given Engie and EDF three months to ensure their Linky smart meter data collection processes were legal, and reminded the companies that clients must be able to “maintain control over their data”.

Both firms were found to have failed to gain explicit consent to collect data for two different uses, and for keeping said data for too long.

In a press release, the CNIL said the companies had been “given formal warning...due to not respecting certain requirements in relation to getting explicit consent for collection of consumption data from Linky smart meters, as well as keeping consumption data for an excessive amount of time”.

Linky smart meters - which automatically collect energy use data and transmit it to the energy company to remove the need for manual readings - have been criticised for what some see as their potential to reveal personal data and information about the connected household.

The CNIL continued: “Detailed consumption data may reveal information on people’s private lives (time they get up and go to bed, periods of absence, the number of people living in the property). It is therefore essential that clients are able to maintain control over their data.”

The CNIL said the law requires companies to obtain “specific consent” for each new kind of data collection, but that the companies had not done this.

It said: “It was established that EDF and Engie collect ‘implicit̵7; consent for two very different operations; a meter display of daily consumption, and a display of consumption every half-hour [the latter of which was judged to be much more intrusive].”

It conceded that EDF and Engie do “collect effective consent from users” but this is “neither specific nor obvious enough”. The method of gathering consent via one simple “checkbox̶1; form for both metrics could “mislead the user”, and mean that their consent may not constitute “informed consent” as required by law, it said.

Lastly, the CNIL found that the “time of record keeping [of consumption data] was often too long, when considered in context with the reasons for which the data is taken”.

Under law, companies are normally only allowed to keep personal data for as long as they have a genuine, ongoing use for it - and are only permitted to use the data for the exact reason it was initially collected.

Under GDPR rules, which came into force in May 2018, companies must obtain explicit consent (such as an “opt in”, rather than “opt out”) to collect and use personal data, and it must be “freely given, informed, and unequivocal”.

True. I thought that ENGI would be too small for a spreadbetting firm (if that is what Spreadex is). The timing is curious, given that KCR shares are currently suspended.

[p1966] 28/1/2020 23:28

Any thoughts on today's notification of the Spreadex stake of 4.04% ?

Octopus Energy has topped the table in a new ranking of energy firms in an annual customer satisfaction survey.

The challenger brand, which specialises in sustainable energy, came in at number one for the second year in a row with an 83% customer score in a survey of over 8,000 people by consumer group Which? Octopus Energy, which supplies more than a million homes, received five-star ratings for billing accuracy, customer service, and complaints handling.

Challenger brands to the UK’s biggest energy firms dominated the top of the rankings with only a small margin separated the next five energy companies, according to Which?, with Octopus energy followed by Ebico, Bulb Energy, Pure Planet, People’s Energy, and Powershop.

They all received extremely high scores for billing accuracy, the survey found.

None of Britain’s six biggest energy companies — British Gas (CNA.L), E.On (EOAN.DE), EDF (EDF.PA), Npower, Scottish Power, and SSE (SSE.L) (now part of Ovo) — made it into the top 20, all finishing lower down the table.

The lowest ranking of the ‘big six’ was Scottish Power at number 33, with a customer satisfaction rating of only 51%.

A third of British Gas customers, three in 10 with Scottish Power, and around a quarter of EDF, E.On, Npower, and SSE customers reported experiencing a problem within the last year, according to Which?

In comparison, just over one in 10 (11%) Octopus Energy customers said they had a problem with their provider.

SSE and E.On were the highest-scoring among the biggest energy firms, coming in joint 24th place with smaller firm E, all receiving a customer satisfaction score of 61%.

As the UK’s biggest energy firms were pushed down the table, three newcomers ranked within the top six. People’s Energy, Powershop, and Pure Planet all entered the market within the last three years and they were all rated very highly for billing accuracy, and well on bill clarity and value for money, equalling more established rivals.

Natalie Hitchins, head of home products and services at Which?, said: “Customers shell out hundreds, sometimes thousands, of pounds a year on their gas and electricity bills so it is right that they expect good service from their energy supplier.

“If you are one of the many customers out there who feels their supplier is falling short, consider moving to one that can offer a better service as well as cheaper prices – you could save hundreds of pounds a year.”

Engie SA (ENGI.FR) said Thursday that it signed an agreement to create a 50-50 joint venture with EDP Renovaveis SA (EDPR.LB) in fixed-and-floating offshore wind.

The agreement follows the announcement of a strategic memorandum of understanding in May to form a new entity with EDP Renovaveis to invest in offshore-wind opportunities world-wide, the French company said.
