Climate Energy Dataset For Off Grid Electricity Infrastructure

The dataset comprises real-time electrical measurements—including voltages, currents, and power factors—for three-phase and single-phase systems across generation, distribution, and consumption stages showcasing the energy generation and demand within an off-grid electricity infrastructure located in the Kalam Region, a specific climate zone in Pakistan. Collected every five minutes from March 6, 2023, to October 24, 2024, it includes over 45 million instances covering data from four micro-hydropower generators, 26 transformers, and 585 end-users. Additionally, the dataset incorporates climate data—such as temperature, dew point, wind components, precipitation, snowfall, and snow cover—from the ERA5 dataset. This comprehensive collection enhances its utility for research in energy systems analysis, climate change studies, electrical engineering, and artificial intelligence applications.

This dataset was originally created with support from Lacuna Fund, the world’s first collaborative effort to provide data scientists, researchers, and social entrepreneurs in low- and middle-income contexts globally with the resources they need to produce labeled datasets that address urgent problems in their communities. Lacuna Fund is a funder collaborative that includes The Rockefeller Foundation, Google.org, Canada’s International Development Research Centre, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) with GIZ as implementing agency, Wellcome Trust, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. See https://lacunafund.org/about/ for more information.
