Victorian State School Electricity Consumption 2008-09

Electricity consumption measurements at State schools first became availablevia a pilot implementation of a whole-of-Victorian-government environmentaldata system in DEECD in May 2013. While measurements are collected at a campuslevel, this dataset aggregates data geographically by Local Government Area(LGA). This aggregation not only ensures that individual schools remainunidentified, but also presents a summary of overall electricity usage withinparticular geographic localities. In addition, median usage is presentedinstead of average (mean) values to account for extreme levels of consumptionthat can give a skewed indication of overall LGA usage.While there are figures for nearly all LGAs there are some for which no valuesare shown. This may be due to insufficient or non-available data, or to ensureconfidentiality of individual schools in LGAs with a small number of schools.
