Node datasheet - Readme
-----------------------

This datasheet provides information about GXPs/GIPs where there is demand,
including:
- creation date (for relatively new nodes)
- location
- lines company
- ICP counts by retailer
- offtake statistics
- plots of demand at the node
- local embedded generators
- local direct-connect customers
- some comments on major loads, and
- a breakdown between CBD, residential, commercial/industrial and agricultural load.

-----------------------

Information on the nature of GXP loads has been provided by distributors through a 
voluntary survey. The Authority thanks distributors who gave their time to respond 
to the survey - the information provided is appreciated.

-----------------------

All information provided in the datasheet should be taken as approximate -
i.e. appropriate for use in high level modelling work, providing adequate 
caution is exercised,

It is not expected that the figures in the datasheet will be updated more often
than annually.

The datasheet is a work in progress; we hope it is of use.
