Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 200 rows came out of a blueprint — 13 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Record hourly consumption per meter
  • Group by customer type
  • Flag peak demand events
  • Exclude personally identifiable information
  • Include meter installation date
