Summary
The files hosted here are synthetic profiles developed by DSA and PG&E. These profiles (known as Granular Profiles or GPs) cover most of PG&E’s service territory and are now being shared for public use. The development process involves the creation of aggregated granular load profiles that use eligible non-participant interval data that are used as control group profiles. Control group profiles are streams of interval data that are representative of certain groups of customers (also referred to as Segments). These control group profiles/ GPs are then individually matched to treatment participants. The correlation between the participant energy usage and the synthetic control interval data stream in the pre-intervention period yields useful information for predicting a participant customer’s counterfactual in the post-treatment period. The synthetic control method has been demonstrated to produce comparable results to the use of matched controls (that is, to identifying non-participating customers to serve as controls). Since granular profiles are formed from actual non-participant customer data and is aggregated, the resulting control data does not represent a single customer. Therefore, granular profiles can be shared publicly without compromising customer confidentiality. In addition, the use of granular profiles mitigate the security risk to IOUs of transmitting non-participant data to third parties on an ongoing basis and allow for the use of the same granular profiles to be used by multiple third parties.
The following attachment details segmentation details for Residential and Non-residential profiles. It also includes additional context for PG&E’s implementation of these profiles.
