Download the data

GeoParquet tables, GeoTIFF rasters, large-facility points and metadata for each country and year. Pick a country and a year; every file is CC BY 4.0.

Working in QGIS? Take the gross and net GWh GeoTIFFs. Adding up your own areas or filtering by official region? Take the pixel table. Citing a region's sources? The region metadata file has them. The Data Guide says which basis to use and what every column means.

The tables carry both bases and the rasters come as a gross and a net file; where no rooftop-solar model exists the two are equal for homes and buildings.

File	Download	Contents
1 km pixel table per year	GeoParquet31.8 MB	Every 1 km cell with GWh by sector on both bases, kWh per person and per m² of built area on both bases, the columns that say where each number comes from (training_tier among them), and the cell polygon. Use it to add up your own areas or to filter by official region. Checksums `gb_electricity_pixels_2024.parquet sha256 a1d9bbde185350498fa87104fe85c76bfe714fc125e32e40c2da72bdd0db7d74`

Scripted access

Every file of this release sits at one URL pattern, so a script can fetch it without this page:

https://data.demandgrid.net/releases/2026.10.4/exports/<cc>/<file>

<cc> is the two-letter country code from the table's URL (?c=gb) and <file> the file name shown in the table. The release manifest lists every published file with its size and sha256. Pin the release id in the URL: a release stays published unchanged at its own path.
