CER Electricity Data Revised March 2012

The dataset 'CER Electricity Data Revised March 2012' is a comprehensive collection of electricity usage data gathered from a large-scale smart metering trial conducted in Ireland in 2012. This dataset aims to provide insights into residential and small-to-medium enterprise (SME) electricity consumption patterns to support energy policy development, demand-side management strategies, and the integration of renewable energy resources. It includes high-resolution, time-series data collected from over 1,000 participants, capturing half-hourly electricity usage alongside detailed survey responses about household demographics, appliance ownership, and behavioral factors. With its rich granularity and scope, the CER dataset is widely used in academic and industry research to analyze energy consumption behaviors, evaluate demand response programs, and develop privacy-preserving models for energy data analysis.
