Abstract: Smart Grid and Smart Metering as a sub-concept are being discussed and
rolled out all over the world. However, the media, politicians and consumers are very
sceptic about the potentially involved privacy loss.
In this paper, we discuss the types of data the Smart Grid utilizes and what level of
access the different roles of the Smart Grid need for their legitimate business. Furthermore, we provide some scenarios for how this data could be abused by stakeholders of the Smart Grid as well as external attackers.
