Lacuna
Repository for the dataset collected in two parts: household electricity consumption data and three rounds of survey data. Consumption data includes smart meter and non-smart meter data.
- EC-1: Data from a longitudinal survey (with 3 rounds of data collection over a period of one
year) capturing the drivers, attitudes and behaviour around domestic energy consumption of over 4,000 consumers of the Lanka Electricity Company (LECO).
These 4,000 consumers will be divided into two primary groups:
- 2000 households with smart electricity meters
- 2000 households with traditional meters containing end-of-month consumption data.
- EC-2: Electricity consumption data for a 20-month period for the same 4,000 households on which the survey is conducted. For the smart metered households, this will include detailed electricity profile across different parameters (e.g., power, voltage, current) captured every 15 minutes. For non- smart metered households, it will only be end-of-month total consumption.
