Energy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 31, 2012, U.S. Department of 

Energy, Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability (DOE OE) hosted 

the Smart Grid Privacy Workshop to 

facilitate a dialog among key industry 

stakeholders. In addition, on February 

23, 2012, the White House released the 

report, Consumer Data Privacy in a 

Networked World: A Framework for 

Protecting Privacy and Promoting 

Innovation in the Global Digital 

Economy (Privacy Blueprint). The 

Privacy Blueprint outlines a multistakeholder process for developing 

legally enforceable voluntary codes of 

conduct to help instill consumer 

confidence. 

In response to workshop findings and 

in support of the Privacy Blueprint, 

DOE OE and the Federal Smart Grid 

Task Force have facilitated a multistakeholder process to develop a 

Voluntary Code of Conduct (VCC) for 

utilities and third parties providing 

consumer energy use services. The 

resulting draft VCC addresses privacy 

issues as they relate to data enabled by 

smart grid technologies. 

The DOE, through a notice published 

in Federal Register on February 11, 

2013 (78 FR 9678), requested energy 

industry stakeholders to participate in 

the VCC multi-stakeholder process by 

attending open meetings and 

participating in work group activities to 

draft the VCC principles. The draft VCC, 

which is now available for public 

comment, is a result of those meetings 

and work groups over the past 18 

months. The primary goal of the VCC is 

to provide principles of conduct for 

voluntary adoption by energy utilities 

and third parties.

Security Act of 2007, Title XIII.
