Core Data Standards

Core data standards contain the foundational data elements used in the Oracle Utilities Opower program. They include data elements for uniquely identifying utility customers and tracking customer energy usage. These data standards are required to run the base components of the Opower program. As shown below, there are two options for following the core data standards. Your Delivery Team will work with you to identify the best option for your situation.

Option 1 (Preferred)

Option 1 includes newer data standards and a broader range of data fields.

• Account Data Transfer
• Billing Data Transfer
• Premise Data Transfer

Option 2

Option 2 includes a legacy data standard that is used among existing utilities. It will eventually be deprecated and replaced by the data standards in option 1.
