It is predicted that by 2020, in line with EU guidelines, smart electricity meters will have been implemented in
80% of households. Some energy consumers are afraid that such meters will record data concerning their privacy and allow
the interception of such data by cybercriminals or that such data will be used for purposes other than accounting services of
electricity supply. The authors of the publication conducted a survey among the Poles and Czechs to find out whether such
fears are actually among the people and to what extent. The researchers also decided to check whether there is a duality
between concerns about the disclosure of measurement data from smart energy meters and voluntarily expressed consent
access to much more personal content stored on smartphones.
