Victorian State School Electricity Consumption 2008-09

Electricity consumption measurements at State schools first became available\nvia a pilot implementation of  a whole-of-Victorian-government environmental\ndata system in DEECD in May 2013. While measurements are collected at a campus\nlevel, this dataset aggregates data geographically by Local Government Area\n(LGA). This aggregation not only ensures that individual schools remain\nunidentified, but also presents a summary of overall electricity usage within\nparticular geographic localities. In addition, median usage is presented\ninstead of average (mean) values to account for extreme levels of consumption\nthat can give a skewed indication of overall LGA usage.\n\nWhile there are figures for nearly all LGAs there are some for which no values\nare shown. This may be due to insufficient or non-available data, or to ensure\nconfidentiality of individual schools in LGAs with a small number of schools.\n\n
