Victorian State School Electricity Consumption 2010-11

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