Scope and source

The map covers 632 Great Britain Westminster constituencies. ElectraLink’s workbook received 15 September 2026 contains 2,837 postcode districts and 121 postcode areas. Northern Ireland is absent. The source does not specify its reporting period. Values are electricity meter points (MPANs), not households or sites. “Smart” is the source classification, not a test of communication status.

Constituency estimates

For each district, smart and non-smart counts are allocated to the seats it touches using each seat’s share of live postcodes in that district. The ONS Postcode Directory (May 2026) provides 1,746,976 live GB postcode mappings to the July 2024 constituencies. The same weights apply to domestic, SME and industrial/commercial segments. Counts remain unrounded during calculation. Coverage is smart ÷ (smart + non-smart), not an average of percentages.

The method assumes uniform meter density and coverage within each district. Postcodes are not weighted by households, businesses or meter points. Business meter distributions may differ substantially. Constituency values are estimates; this is not an exact address-level allocation or a statistical confidence interval.

Suppression, gaps and comparisons

The workbook marks unavailable values as −1. They are never treated as zero or inferred from postcode-area residuals. A constituency segment with any missing or suppressed contributing district has a Partial status. Its displayed counts and coverage include published contributions only. Availability percentages measure postcodes, not meter points. Such seats are excluded from rankings; equal coverage at one decimal place shares a rank.

The GB benchmark uses published postcode-area counts. Some source districts have no live-postcode match and cannot be allocated to seats, so summed constituency counts do not equal the GB total. The CSV includes segment status and postcode availability alongside estimates. No raw ElectraLink workbook or district-level meter data is included in the site.
