> The example of electric meters is a trivial one but the same can apply to other things.

I can assure you that the requirements and IT issues surrounding smart electric meters are far from "trivial."

You talk about "the electric company" being singular and monolithic. In reality there are many separate parties with interests in obtaining access to that data and controlling that meter (the home owner, multiple production/ delivery companies, meter data management company, meter management company, high voltage distribution company, medium voltage distribution company, regulators, micro generation .... ) That can add up to 15 different roles, and many different message types.

See e.g. /EBSII White Paper: "Smart European Energy Architecture"
