"Quarter-Hourly Electricity Consumption Data of Austria (2015\u20132026)"

"Dataset of quarter-hourly electricity consumption for Austria derived from exports of the SMARD Electricity Market Data Platform covering the period 2015\u20132026. The data represents actual load values in megawatts per hour (MWh) and enables high-resolution analysis of energy demand, seasonal and diurnal consumption patterns, and grid behavior. Such time-series data is valuable for power system research, demand forecasting, renewable integration studies, and optimization of electricity infrastructure. The dataset is provided under the CC BY 4.0 license, allowing free reuse with proper attribution. It has been merged into a single ZIP archive containing CSV files organized by year and quarter-hour resolution. Researchers and practitioners can utilize this dataset to investigate long-term trends in electricity consumption and support data-driven decision making in energy systems. Submission to IEEE DataPort will make the dataset accessible to the broader scientific community, fostering reproducible research and collaborative advancements in energy analytics."
