Uses for delayed power consumption data from power company

Hi!

The local power company provides hourly power consumption data and some other stuff which I could cobble up a library and an integration for. What’s not cool about it is that the consumption data is delayed for 24+ hours.

Are there examples of existing core or custom integrations that deal with this kind of delayed consumption data/ how should an integration handle it/ can HA utilize such delayed data usefully in the first place? I can see uses for it by correlating afterwards with what devices were on at usage peaks etc, so just recording it properly with the associated timestamps in the past would be good enough start for me.

There are no examples because that is not how Home Assistant works. It records events and states in real time.
