MultiSpeak is a specification that defines standardized interfaces among software applications commonly used by electric utilities, defining details of data that must be exchanged between software applications to support common utility processes.
It is funded by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
[1] The MultiSpeak specification is the most widely applied integration standard in North American distribution utilities.
It is currently used in the daily operations of more than 600 electric cooperatives, investor-owned utilities, municipals, and public power districts in at least 15 countries.
[2] Over 80 software vendors have joined the MultiSpeak initiative and contribute their experience to refining the standard.
