Okla. Stat. tit. 17, § 17-710.2: Legislative findings

The Legislature finds that smart grid and smart meter

technologies have the potential to provide substantial benefits to

consumers and the environment, including reduced energy costs,

increased energy efficiency, and increased reliability of the

electric grid. The Legislature recognizes, however, that the use of

advanced metering technology may give electric utilities and

consumers access to more detailed usage data than that collected by

conventional electric utility services. The purpose of the Electric

Usage Data Protection Act is to establish standards to govern the

access to and use of usage data, as defined in Section 3 of this act

by electric utilities, customers of electric utilities, and third

parties.
