Hourly total net energy flows for **Cape Breton export**, in megawatts (MW). This series measures electricity moving across the Cape Breton export interface — the transmission boundary between Cape Breton Island and mainland Nova Scotia (or export paths associated with that region). It is used to analyse how generation and load on Cape Breton Island balance with the rest of the province, including flows from Cape Breton wind and thermal generation assets.
Published by Nova Scotia Power via OASIS monthly reports. Fifteen yearly source files (2012–2026) are combined.
**Time coverage:** 2012–2026 (hourly). The 2026 file is year-to-date.
**Key columns:**
- `Hour Ending` — timestamp (hour ending)
- `MW` — total net Cape Breton export flow
- `_source_year` — calendar year of the source file
**Rows:** ~115,343 hourly records.
This dataset appears to contain hourly energy consumption data for a specific location or time period, with information on the hour ending date, the amount of electricity produced (in megawatts, MW) and the source year.
The overall quality score is 98.12/100, indicating that the dataset is generally accurate and complete. The completeness score is 100.0/100, suggesting that all data points are present. However, the validity score is only 95.0/100, indicating some potential errors or inconsistencies in the data. The uniqueness and consistency scores suggest that there may be duplicate or inconsistent data entries.
1. Analyzing historical energy consumption patterns to inform renewable energy investments
2. Evaluating the impact of different energy sources on local air quality
1. Limited temporal resolution (only hourly data), which may not capture daily trends or seasonal variations
2. Potential for errors or inconsistencies in the data, which could impact analysis and conclusions
