Pakistan Residential Electricity Consumption Data Set (PRECON)

Buildings in Pakistan consume over 50% of the electricity, making it important to understand how occupants use energy for improved efficiency. However, there are limited datasets from developing countries, especially in South Asian countries including Pakistan, that capture residential electricity consumption behaviour. This paper introduces the PRECON dataset, collected over one year from 42 homes with diverse demographics. The data covers whole-house consumption, high-powered devices, and key areas within the homes. It was collected on basis of research conducted, and smart meters installed. This dataset can help utility companies and policymakers improve energy generation, manage demand, and boost energy efficiency through data-driven decisions. The data from this data set can be used for assessment of consumer behaviour in North India as well.

REWDP - Residential Energy and Weather Data Pakistan

REWDP (Residential Energy and Weather Data Pakistan) is an open-source dataset that integrates residential electricity consumption and meteorological data from Pakistan. It includes one year of energy data from 60 households across six urban centers, collected at one-minute intervals, covering total and individual appliance usage. The dataset also incorporates 18 months of weather data, including temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, for each urban center. REWDP provides valuable insights into the relationship between energy consumption and climate in developing nations, offering a comprehensive, high-resolution resource for researchers and analysts studying energy behavior and climate impacts on residential energy use.
