  • Our recent work on how COVID-19 impact U.S. electricity consumption was reported by IEEE Spectrum. In this project, we release a first-of-its-kind open access data hub, namely the Coronavirus Disease-Electricity Market Data Aggregation (COVID-EMDA), to track the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on electricity markets in the U.S. This ready-to-use data hub integrates generation, load and pricing data across all existing U.S. markets with COVID-19 case data, weather data, cellular phone location data and satellite imaging data into a compact format, and is updated daily to capture the evolving dynamics.This data set is available on Github.
