This webinar will look at tools regulators, policymakers, and utilities are using to develop more robust policies around data access. It will leverage the results of NARUC research collecting requirements, policies, and guidance from state utility commission data-sharing decisions and dockets. Particular attention will be paid to how regulatory requirements have been designed in the past, how regulators are considering new approaches to resolve historically low uptake of data tools, and their ability to drive program enrollment. Experts and practitioners will draw on parallel industries including open banking (i.e., a system of allowing access and control of consumer banking and financial accounts through third-party applications) to discuss the pros and cons of certain kinds of regulatory and performance requirements. The webinar will also discuss challenges regulators face and skills that may be valuable in tackling data access questions, both incrementally and systematically.
