The AMPds dataset has been release to help load disaggregation/NILM and eco-feedback researchers test their algorithms, models, systems, and prototypes. AMPds contains electricity, water, and natural gas measurements at one minute intervals — a total of 1,051,200 readings per meter for 2 years of monitoring. Weather data from Environment Canada's YVR weather station has also been added. This hourly weather data covers the same period of time as AMPds and includes a summary of climate normals
observed from the years between 1981-2010. Utility billing data is also included for cost analyses.
For details about AMPds please read my Nature's Scientific Data journal paper. If you use this dataset in your research you must cite this journal paper. Here are example references, the BibTeX record, and the RIS record:

NILM Researchers Note: If you only want a single file with all the sub-/meter power data you can directly download the Electricity_P.csv file. If you use NILMTK you can download the HDF5 file AMPds.h5.
Hourly Data: For long-term hourly data from this same house download House 1 of the HUE dataset to Harvard Dataverse (no password required): https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/N3HGRN.
1Hz Data: For a smaple of 1Hz (per second) data from this same house download House 1 of the RAE dataset to Harvard Dataverse (no password required): http://dx.doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ZJW4LC.
Version 1: The original AMPds (R2013) dataset can be downloaded from Harvard Dataverse (no password required): http://dx.doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MXB7VO.
Pre-Version: Also avalible, a 2010 dataset called ODDs from the same test house can be downloaded from Harvard Dataverse (no password required): http://dx.doi.org/10.7910/DVN/2K9FFE.
