Track What Energy Actually Costs You

Copy

My energy bill goes up and I have no idea what is causing it. Build me an energy cost calculator. Keep tariff rates as editable records including standing charge and any day or night unit rates. Let me log meter readings by date, and separately list appliances or areas with their rated power and estimated hours of use, so I get an estimated cost per item as well as an actual cost from the readings. Show cost per month, the trend across the last twelve months, and the same month a year ago for comparison. Rank items by cost rather than by consumption. Add an AI agent that reads the last few months and tells me plainly which one or two things are driving my bill and what a realistic reduction would be worth in money. Automate a scheduled monthly reminder to take readings, and an alert when a month is materially above the same month last year. Two logins: an owner who sees all sites, and a site user who logs only their own readings.

Track What Energy Actually Costs You

Turn meter readings and appliance usage into monthly cost by item, with tariff bands, trends, and the biggest driver named.

// the spark catches · intelligence awakens · the answer unfolds

A bill is a single number that explains nothing. This breaks usage down by item so the two or three things driving the cost become obvious.

What's Included

  • Cost per appliance or site rather than one unexplained total.
  • Readings over time so a change shows up as a trend.
  • Tariff rates kept as data including day and night bands.
  • An assistant that names the biggest single driver of the bill.

How To Use

  1. Log readings on a fixed day each month or the trend is meaningless.
  2. Keep tariff bands as records. They change more often than you expect.
  3. Rank by cost, not by usage. A small heavy user beats a large light one.
  4. Compare against the same month last year, not against last month.

Fold it into overheads with the break-even calculator, and watch sites with operations intelligence prompts.
