ENTSO-E hourly load time series for European countries
The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, ENTSOE-E, hold hourly demand data for each EU country. Their terms and conditions do not allow redistribution. It may be worth our while putting in a single, co-ordinated request to cover access to and redistribution of the archive.
Open Power System Data hourly load time series for European countries
Open Power System Data (OPSD) is a platform for European power system data such as power plants and load, wind and solar time series.
OPSD will provide coherent versions of the ENTSO-E time series, with errors and time zones consistent across the dataset.
Elexon time series for Great Britain
Elexon manages the data for the GB network, and this is available half-hourly. Registration is free. They've been very helpful with our network of UK universities in facilitating access to data, to date. Again, a co-ordinated approach will be best. There are also several different variations of total demand available from the GB National Grid, also all half-hourly

Canada
Historical hourly load data for the Ontario area in Canada, operated by the Indepedent Electricity System Operator (IESO), can be downloaded in CSV format from IESO's website.
Hourly load data, 2016 only, for the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES) can be retrieved from the website of Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO).
United States
Hourly load profiles for the period 2015-2017 are available on the website of the EIA. Data can be downloaded for the entire US, or seperately per region or balancing authority. Hourly load per balancing authority for years before 2016 can be accessed through the website of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Australia
The data dashboard of the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) includes half-hourly load data per month, per subregion, of the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) downloadable for the period 1998-2017. The NEM consists of the regions Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. In 2013 the NEM covered approximately 90% of Australia's grid connected electricity demand (p.13).
