A Tour of LF Energy's Connected Data Specifications (CDS)
summary
CDS publishes draft specifications for server metadata discovery and client registration lifecycle plus a ~300‑page customer data spec; server metadata defines a well‑known JSON endpoint to discover capabilities across 3,000+ U.S. utilities, client registration automates onboarding, grants, credentials and messaging, and customer data covers OAuth consent, bills, usage intervals, aggregations and EACs. A DRX Gateway reference implementation exists, pilots are encouraged, and the specs are sized to allow micro deployments rather than full backend rewrites.
