Abstract: This paper documents the construction of an anonymized research database with 132 million observations of electricity consumption from individual electricity meters distributed throughout Bolivia’s territory, during the period 2012 to 2016. The research database was constructed from 6101 files submitted by the different electricity distribution companies to the national Electricity Authority, and was cleaned, quality checked, simplified, harmonized, and anonymized. Each electricity meter was also attributed to one of Bolivia’s 339 municipalities to facilitate sub-national level research on many different topics, such as energy consumption, poverty, inequality, and migration.
