Electricity consumption dataset of a local energy cooperative
Description
The dataset was published as a CSV file that comprises the energy consumption measurements of 172 different buildings, that are part of a local cooperative, i.e., they are geographically close to each other. These measurements were collected from the buildings’ smart meters, in Loureiro, Portugal, and communicate every 15 minutes the amount of energy consumed in that period. The dataset includes 46608 rows of 15-minute intervals, and each column is related to one building’s consumption values, besides the “Time” column and the meteorological data. The data is organized by date and time, and it covers the period between 05-05-2022 and 02-09-2023. Some buildings have entries missing, which are marked as Not a Number (NaN). In addition to the energy data, related local weather information was added to complement the energy measurements. Both the energy and weather data were collected at the same time and have the same number of rows, with the respective dates. The weather data was taken from the nearest weather station to Loureiro, which is in Aveiro, Portugal (40°38'07.4"N 8°39'34.6"W).
