Energy Data Access: A Guide to Leveraging Differential Privacy 

The Energy Data Access: Guide to Leveraging Differential Privacy provides a practical application for using differential privacy in various risk-based data access frameworks and demystifies this important tool in the context of current energy data access regulations and policies. The guide provides historical context, a structure for assessing risk in use-case development, and tools to orient decision-makers and practitioners to the opportunities for expanding data access frameworks to include differential privacy techniques. The user guide is intended to help stakeholders, and decision-makers inform the development of frameworks appropriate to a jurisdiction's specific policy goals and objectives and provide tools to properly balance and communicate the trade-offs of privacy and usability of datasets.
