Smart meter consumption - Substation

Introduction

The dataset presented shows import consumption data at secondary substation level, together with a count of smart meters contributing the aggregated half-hourly values. The data shown now includes values for both Active Energy import and Reactive. This dataset is currently from 40,000 smart meters in our Eastern Power Networks (EPN) region.

This will be gradually expanded during 2025 to include both import and export energy data from all smart meters within our three regions of EPN, London Power Networks (LPN), and South Eastern Power Networks (SPN).

Methodological Approach

Primary Consumption Active Import is aggregated from the number of active devices during a half hour period. Note: if a device was not contactable during a half period, its data is not aggregated.

Quality Control Statement

Please be aware that this data is being made available to provide an early insight of what we propose to publish from all smart meters within our regions. We continue to carry out data validation checks to improve data quality before publishing the full dataset - so suggest caution if you plan to utilize this currently available information. We will update this message once the full dataset that includes both import and export energy data is published.

Please provide any thoughts, comments, or suggestions here.

Assurance Statement

The Smart Metering Team has checked to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
