DATA PROTECTION REFORM
Update on the upcoming

Energy
General Data Protection Regulation
The proposed ‘Data Protection Regulation’ replacing Directive 95/46/EC would render Data Protection Impact Assessments mandatory under certain conditions, as a key instrument to enhance data controllers' accountability.
In this respect, the DPIA Template for Smart Grid and Smart Metering Systems, albeit itself non-compulsory, will serve the purpose, as an evaluation and decision-making tool, of supporting data controllers in the smart grids sector to comply with a future legal obligation under the proposed ‘Data Protection Regulation’.

Scope of the Recommendation
• The DPIA Template is an evaluation and decision-making tool which helps entities planning or executing investments in smart grids to identify and anticipate risks to data protection, privacy and security.
• The DPIA provides guidance to help ensure the fundamental rights to protection of personal data and to privacy in the deployment of smart grid applications and systems and smart metering roll-out.

Opinion 07/2013 of the Working Party 29…
….recommends the organisation of a test phase for the implementation of the Template, with the support of Data Protection Authorities.
This test phase should contribute to ensure that the Template provides improved data protection to individuals in the context of the deployment of smart grids.

Test Phase
Within two years of publication of this Recommendation in the Official Journal of the European Union, Member States should provide the Commission with an assessment report highlighting the relevant conclusions stemming from the Test Phase.
The EC intends to assess the need for revision of the DPIA Template based on the Test Phase reports provided by Member States
Stakeholder event to exchange views on this assessment prior to undertaking a revision

Why a Test Phase?
In light of the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation
Based on the feedback gathered in the test phase, the Template could be further fine-tuned to enhance its
Efficiency of the template in assessing the impact of individual smart grid applications on data protection.
Usefulness of the template in guiding data controllers in the conduct of the impact assessment according to the concrete circumstances of the application or system
User-friendliness of the template from the data controller's perspective
