Data gathered from residential applications like energy management can be used to collect a wide range of information about consumers using smart meters in their homes. However, what to do with the collected data has become an issue for utilities. Does big data lead simply to more informed advertising, or will it be used to provide a superior and differentiating consumer experience?
