Evolving Distribution System

Download CCIF’s 2015 Report, The Evolving Distribution System: Helping Consumers Navigate Access to Products, Services and Technologies.

At its 5th Annual Kickoff Forum in November 2014, CCIF embarked on a discussion of the how the technological evolution of the distribution system is creating customer big data public policy issues that will impact customers, regulators, third-party vendors and utilities. Issues addressed included:

  • Consumer Privacy and Security Needs
  • Rules Governing Access and Usage By Vendors and Utilities
  • Regulatory Options
  • Role of the Distribution Utility
  • Technology Considerations and Standards

Following a series of summits in which these issues were examined, participants developed a consensus framework and principles that are featured in the July 2015 report.
