PCSTCol - Power Consumption Data from an area of southern Colombia

We introduce a dataset concerning electric-power consumption-related features registed in seven main municipalities of Nariño, Colombia, from 2010 to 2016. The dataset consists of 4423 socio-demographic characteristics, and 6 power-consumption-referred measured values. Data were fully collected by the company Centrales Eléctricas de Nariño (CEDNEAR) according to the client consumption records. Power consumption data collection was carried following a manual procedure wherein company workers are in charge of manually registering the readings (measured in Kw/h) reported by the electric energy meters installed at each housing/building. Released data set is aimed at providing researchers a suitable input for designing and assessing the performance of forecasting, modelling, simulation and optimization approaches applied to electric power consumption prediction and characterization problems.
