Domestic Electrical Load Data Descriptor

This is the data descriptor for the South African Domestic Electrical Load (DEL) study datasets. The DEL datasets were collected during the National Rationalised Specification Load Research Programme from 1994 to 2014. The datasets contain metered household electricity consumption data, and socio-demographic survey data for a diverse sample population spanning urban, informal and rural environments, five climatic zones, a large spectrum of income groups, newly to long-term electrified households, and different dwelling structures in South Africa and Namibia.
