Swiss Smart Meter Data: 4,959 Meters in Lucerne Over Two Years

Swiss smart meter data from Canton Lucerne covers a two-year period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022. It contains active energy consumption values in kWh recorded at 15-minute intervals for 4,959 individual metering points, all of which have complete data for the full duration. The dataset, cleaned and anonymized by Benjamin Sawicki of ETH Zurich, is based on a collection from CKW AG.

Use Cases

• Forecasting electricity demand based on 15-minute interval consumption data.
• Analyzing individual household energy usage patterns over a two-year period.
• Developing anomaly detection models for smart meter data completeness.
• Benchmarking data cleaning and filtering methods for time-series energy data.

Strengths

• Data completeness is assured for 4,959 meters over the full two-year duration.
• The dataset covers a substantial temporal range of two full calendar years.
• Original source is a known utility provider (CKW AG), suggesting real-world operational data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale models.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
