We are proud to introduce REWD, Residential Energy and Weather Data Pakistan, a dataset that gives an integrated view of residential electricity usage and climatic trends. This dataset marks a landmark step in understanding the behavior of energy consumption in the context of weather within developing nations.

Electricity consumption data has been collected for one year through advanced smart meters. The dataset consists of 60 households belonging to six major urban centers in varying climatic zones across the country. The energy dataset is recorded on a 1-minute granularity for entire household usage as well as for individual appliances. The monitoring of high-consumption appliances has been done alongside the comprehensive load profile of the household, facilitating in-depth examinations of electricity consumption patterns. Additionally, the metadata encompassing building attributes and demographic information for each household further enriches the dataset's comprehensiveness. The households in the dataset represent a wide and mixed demographic, social structure, and financial background so that the dataset is rich and comprehensive.

The REWD seeks to describe electricity consumption patterns and their correlations with climate conditions in developing regions. REWD stands out for its unparalleled extensiveness, fine-grained resolution, and being full available open-source. With over a year of detailed energy consumption data and 18 months of weather data collected from a diverse array of households across six distinct climatic zones, it is one of the most comprehensive datasets of its kind. Notably, no similar dataset combining both residential energy usage and weather data has ever been compiled for Pakistan before, making it a pioneering resource in the field.

This meteorological dataset has been accumulated over a period of 18 months for the six urban centers. This weather data comprises of up to 10 essential variables such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity and Precipitation, thus providing an all-around perspective of the environmental elements impacting energy consumption.
