Metered Electricity Consumption
Metered electricity consumption data is collected as meter readings for billing purposes. The metered electricity consumption data is administered by ESB. The data in the release shows the metered consumption of users connected to the electricity mains in Ireland, and contributes to national and international needs on energy statistics.
The metered electricity consumption data is obtained by the CSO from ESB Networks under Section 30 of the Statistics Act, 1993.
Our results are only ever made available to the public in aggregate form, and we make sure that it is impossible for individuals or businesses to be identified. Anonymised survey information may be provided to other government departments, approved organisations, and approved researchers for statistical purposes only.
Yes. All information supplied to the CSO is treated as strictly confidential. The Statistics Act 1993 sets stringent confidentiality standards: information collected may be used only for statistical purposes and no details that might be related to an identifiable person or business undertaking may be divulged to any other government department or body. The data will be retained as we need a long time series to understand trends in environment statistics.
