In recent years, electricity smart meters have generated a lot of interest from producers of official statistics. The smart meters read electricity consumption and production from a distance and record data at short intervals. Large amounts of data, not only measurements but also attributes of metering points, customers, and providers, are collected in a common database (a hub). The data have an obvious attraction for official statistics producers. A Swedish data hub is under development and is planned for the end of 2020. The hub will contain data for more than 5 million metering points. Since a few years, Statistics Sweden is recognized as a stakeholder. In additon, Stat Sweden participated in the recent project ESSnet Big Data. In our paper, we describe the work we have done so far to prepare for the electricity hub as a possible source for relevant statistics on a number of topics, such as electricity use, environment and buildings. During preparation for the hub, we have access to a small set of test data and present some results based on this data.
