In a significant shift in the energy sector, Consumer Data Right (CDR) Open Energy, launched with the big three energy providers in November 2022, is now reshaping the Australian energy landscape. Over a year into its implementation, the transformative impact of this initiative is becoming increasingly evident.
VoltaRocks, a forward-thinking third-party provider, recognises the immense opportunity CDR Open Energy presents for consumers and businesses alike. “CDR Open Energy is instrumental in accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable energy future. It empowers consumers with more options and personalised solutions tailored to their unique energy needs,” asserts founder of VoltaRocks and previous founder of SavvyBI and Empower Analytics Oscar Omegna.
While the rollout of CDR Open Energy has not been without challenges, it marks a new era in energy consumption and management. As one of the early adopters, VoltaRocks began utilising CDR Open Energy just five months after its release, navigating the complexities of a new system rollout.
VoltaRocks extends an open invitation to startups and participants in the energy ecosystem to learn from their experience with CDR. Oscar Omegna is hosting ‘Chatterbox Chronicles’, an online discussion forum offering insights on leveraging CDR Open Energy, potential challenges, and strategies for successful integration.
