Here's our org in a single Tweet: M:d: Customer energy data is theirs. Utilities as stewards have an obligation to serve the public by facilitating data portability Utilities: No. Possession is 9/10ths of the law, so...<running down clock> M:d: See you at the hearing!

Rural electrification lessons are always interesting to me. We did it through a combination of (1) low cost federal loans, (2) preferential access to federally-owned hydro, and (3) preferential tax and regulatory treatment for non-profit cooperative status. 1/
Jane Flegal@JaneAFlegal

We built the interstate highway system & electrified the rural US without demand certainty. The fed gov accepted risk bc the value of national infra was obvious. Cost allocation fights only exist if we are trying to finance national infra thru the rate base. But why should we?

Utilities: Our meters will be future-proof. That means you pay us all the money up front, we get wealthy in the future, and we owe you no proof.

@mission_data But the regulator still is the one that mandates it. Without the mandate there would never be a purchase. Do you think utilities buy solar off your roof for $300 and not off the substation for $30 because of their greed? Pointing the finger at the wrong place here,

So the best option is to have resources that are already inefficient per dollar be even more inefficient because of the rent seeking middlemen in the process. As if this is a free market as opposed to a midwit regulator imposed one. 😂

"If a utility owns transmission and distribution, it should not be allowed to own generation." Similarly, when distribution utilities own DERs, they engage in harmful self-preferencing and data blocking, depriving customers of choice.

"No single policy will bring immediate relief. But one central driver of rising bills is a regulatory model that protects monopolies, limits customer choice, and rewards overspending while deterring innovation." Great piece by @Maceyjoshua. fortune.com/2026/03/17/ele…

"The Bell companies tried to suppress answering machines to keep their monopoly answering service Centrex alive." Love it. We need grid innovation at the edge without monopoly interference.
Frank Lasee @truthinenergyandclimate@lasee_frank

We need to inject competition into electricity like we did for trucking and the airlines. It will lower costs and increase innovation. It will give consumers choices. It is time. State legislators must do this. Read my piece on this. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">townhall.com/columnists/fra…

This is great news -- settling to interval meter data is key, particularly since ratepayers funded AMI. The necessary next step is individual data portability. We demoted ComEd & Ameren from our Green Button Explorer because they were not delivering. missiondata.io/news/2025/10/2…
Travis Kavulla@TKavulla

3. @ComEd & Illinois regulators have worked to ensure that Advanced Metering is configured to actually settle to our customers' actual demand -- not a load profile. Needless to say, Base only can make investments that flex demand if that activity is actually acknowledged.

@ts_fisher @xiaowang1984 Our home HQ had plug-in solar. Utility only noticed it when the older meters was replaced with AMI, and they saw minor backfeeding.

@xiaowang1984 If you have a battery, there are other ways to handle it. Also ways that would make it undetectable. Frankly, the utilities should be broadcasting your consumption with those fancy meters we taxpayers and ratepayers paid for with the promise that they would open up comms.

@xiaowang1984 That's why we advocate for direct upload to the cloud service of your choice via Wi-Fi (seamless). But if these older meters have the tech, they shouldn't be deactivated. Let the consumer decide. If the utility deactivates, then rebate customers the cost of Zigbee hardware.

Seen in Unisource territory, southern Arizona. Another example of rate-based functionality that cannot be used by VPPs or customers directly.

Utility bills aren't correct, Exhibit 329: This 7-day billing period (due to a move-out) accrues the full 30-day monthly fixed charge. Thanks, PSE.

@EnergyLawJeff @mattyglesias Yes. And competition at the edge (e.g. batteries, VPPs) is imperiled by monopoly abuse and conflicts of interest. AT&T taught us that competitive innovation is drowned by the monopoly. Data-blocking is just one aspect of the arbitrary power utilities have.

@mattyglesias We started down the path of bringing competition into the industry because utilities made bad bets on new generation projects to serve large loads (industrials), and all customers paid the price. There's no evidence to suggest monopolies will suddenly be better at it now. 2/

With all due respect to @mattyglesias, anyone reaching even the tentative conclusion that fully returning to integrated monopolies is the answer to our present circumstances hasn't spent enough time learning the history of the electricity industry. 1/

SDG&E says Smart Meters 1.0 never contemplated how "devices interact with the grid." That's false, of course. SDG&E recently deactivated Home Area Network functions it had in place 13+ years ago. This isn't new.

@xiaowang1984 It sets a low bar. There are numerous other consumer benefits to AMI, particularly those stemming from data access. But with a benefit/cost ratio of 1.0001 by doing the bare minimum, ratepayer value is left on the table due to laziness.

Here is New York DPS staff doing the work of the utility, which won $489M for AMI: "It doesn't matter if customers get direct benefits, like tools to manage their bills. Firing meter readers and remote disconnections pays for itself, so why bother with the other stuff?"

@mattyglesias "Does not produce power"? Ever heard of rooftop solar? Batteries often store the excess that never would have gone into the grid anyway, so it's definitely an increase in supply.
