Smart Meter Installation Volumes
Listed in ukpowernetworks
Introduction A monthly updated snapshot of the number of meters connected by local authority district and by meter category: smart; and not smart (analogue).
Description
Specifically, our smart meter definition is: Profile Class 0-4 meters only; and Meters in Measurement Class A,F and G only. Note 1: where UK Power Networks borders NGED and SSEN, and share coverage of common local authorities, only UK Power Networks customers connected to the UK Power Networks are shown.
Note 2: the smart meters are mapped to LSOA using Office for National Statistics datasets which are updated annually. However, UK Power Networks smart meter installation counts are updated monthly so there is a natural but negligible discrepancy. Contains Local Authority district code and name data sourced from the Office for National Statistics licensed under the Open Government Licence v.3.0 Methodological Approach Data Extraction and Cleaning: Smart Meter installation data is extracted by post code, such that each post code has a count for smart meters; analogue; and advanced.

Aggregation: Each post code is assigned to a local authority. Polygon Creation: Each local authority is then assigned to a local authority polygon. Quality Control Statement Quality Control Measures include: Verification steps to match features only with confirmed functional locations; Manual review and correct of data inconsistencies; and Use of additional verification steps to ensure accuracy in the methodology.
Assurance Statement The Open Data Team and Income Management Team worked together to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
