Elhub - Electricity data hub How we plan to use the data for statistical purposes 1 Oslo Group meeting Mexico Overview of presentation • What is Elhub • How we plan to use Elhub-data for statistical purposes • Experiences from the Nordic countries? Other countries? 2 Background • AMS (Advanced metering and control systems)-regulation adopted in 2011 • To-way communication with all electricty consumers in Norway within 2019 (2.7 mill. meters with hourly data) • Needed a central datahub for metered data and market processes in the Norwegian electricity market 3 Elhub - Electricity data hub 4 Source:: Statnett Elhub • Planned to be operational by February 2017 • Objectives: – Efficient distribution of measurement values – Cost savings performing tasks that grid companies otherwise would perform separately – Simplified business processes, such as switching supplier – Utilize the technological potential of AMS in relation to smart solutions and services – Nordic harmonization of retail markets – Market neutrality through equal treatment of participants 5 How we plan to use the data for statistical purposes • New opportunities: Data from Elhub is linked to personal-ID number and organization number for companies. • Advantages: Reduced responce burden, improved timeliness, improved quality (?), • But, no test data from Elhub yet. 6 Data from Elhub in official statistics • Electricity, monthly figures • Electricity, annual figures • Energy consumption in households • Energy use in the manufacturing sector • Energy balance 7 New statistics from Elhub data? • Supplier switching data • El-Certificate volumes • Can other institution produce this kind of data? 8 Our work so far • Legal framework • Requirement specification (temporary) • Help the Elhub- team write a user guide 9 Data for research, Long term storage of detailed data? • Big dataset (2.7 mill. meters per hour). Many variables. • Data for research analysis. • Hourly figures? Long term storage of detailed data? How much do we download? 10 Experiences from other countries? • Denmark introduced their Elhub in 2013. Experiences? • Finland and Sweden decided in 2015 to implement Elhub. Experiences? • Other experiences with systems similar to Elhub? How can we use the data effectively ? 11
