In　the　power　system,　the　power　consumption　data　are　of　guiding　significance　for　the　formulation　of　production　deployment　plans.　However,　due　to　various　reasons,　the　record　of　electricity　consumption　data　is　often　unable　to　be　comprehensive　and　accurate.　To　solve　this　problem,　this　paper　presents　a　method　based　on　Benford-Zipf.　Firstly,　Benford＇　law　is　used　to　evaluate　the　reliability　of　recorded　electricity　data.　Then　Zipf＇s　law　is　used　for　the　data　with　low　reliability.　Finally　estimate　the　total　electricity　consumption　of　the　whole　industry　with　the　electricity　data　of　individual　enterprises.　Taking　the　power　consumption　data　of　metal　products　industry　in　Fujian　Province　from　2015　to　2017　as　an　example,　the　evaluation　and　correction　results　show　that　the　method　is　practical　and　effective.　©　2021　Published　under　licence　by　IOP　Publishing　Ltd.
