The address point data is then used to match each Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) to a local authority using the National Statistics Postcode Directory and the Postal Address File (PAF).
For domestic electricity consumption the data covers the months February to January (for example the 2020 electricity year was February 2020 to January 2021).
