Could you please give access to customers’ half-hourly smart meter readings?
One of your competitors provides this on their monthly bills. They way they do this is silly : they add pages to the monthly PDF bill.
PP could just provide the option for a link to download as a CSV file format or something like that.
I have been looking around the community for an answer to the same question. I know PP access our SMART readings on a monthly basis but don’t know if they provide access to the rest of it. I have come accross this company https://data.n3rgy.com/consumer/home that aparently can provide it for free, but I have not registered yet as I would prefer to get it from my supplier direct.

I understand it would be support work for PP to offer the data to customers.
It could be labelled as “beta” and maybe even used as a opportunity to engage with interested customers. e.g. I would happily write code, and share it, that used the data and did useful things.
A competitor to PP gives this smart meter data as standard.
I have not - what’s the summary of concerns?

My gut feeling is they hope for a huge number of consumers to sign up then sell on the data, but I may be wrong.
Why else would they offer the service for free?
On the other hand if it works for them and the consumer then what a great business..(I may be over cynical, there is little intelligence available on what the business actually is)

There is definitely a business case. For example, I do not yet see any utilities comparison service or web site that compares based on a consumers’ actual usage - i.e. their historical half-hourly smart meter readings.
That will turn the current “flat rate tariff” model at comparison sites on its head.

This is interesting
You are a Google pro! Thank you. I think I will sign-up and go through the process of getting the data.
