Workpackage D (WPD) of ESSnet Big Data focuses on smart energy meters and more particularly on electricity meters which can be monitored continuously at a distance. Its objective is to implement smart meter data for the production of statistics on businesses and households and for identifying vacant or seasonally/temporarily occupied dwellings, by linking the electricity data with data from administrative sources.

WPD is carried out by representatives of four ESSnet Big Data partners: Statistics Estonia which is leading WPD, DST (Statistics Denmark), SSB (Statistics Norway) and SCB (Statistics Sweden).
