Open data from the eu_open_data platform includes energy consumption for the Westland and Midden-Delfland network area. The dataset, provided by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties, covers small consumption connections (gas up to 40 m³/hour, electricity up to 3x80 amps) and large-consumption gas connections (65 m³/hour or more).
Use Cases
- Modeling residential and small commercial energy demand based on small consumption data categories.
- Analyzing large industrial or commercial gas usage patterns based on large-consumption connection data.
- Comparing electricity and gas consumption profiles across different connection capacity thresholds.
- Forecasting infrastructure needs for the Westland and Midden-Delfland network area.
Strengths
- Data is explicitly split into small and large consumption categories, allowing for segmented analysis.
- Specific capacity thresholds are provided (gas up to 40 m³/hour, electricity up to 3x80 amps for small connections).
- Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
