The Energy Detective

Posted by David Pitkin Sat, 27 Sep 2008 15:38:42 GMT

I love my energy detective. It is a display that shows our household electricity usage converted to $/kWH all the time. My favorite usage so far is checking when I leave the house to ensure that the usage is below 0.10$/Hour, if its higher we forgot something left on. I wanted to share the Groton Electric settings for it… if you pay your bill early (10% discount included)

Tiered Rates T1 (0-500 kWh) = 0.0612 + 0.0088 + 0.03157 + 0.01842 – 0.0126 = 0.10739 T2 (>500kWh) = 0.0717 + 0.0088 + 0.03157 + 0.01842 -0.0126 = 0.11789 Annual Charge = 0 Fixed Monthly = 0 Min. Monthy = 5.62 Tax Rate = 0%

My meter is read on the 23rd of each month, all this information was easily available from Groton Electric

A few pictures of installing mine, don’t forget that the red dots on the clamps need to be on in the same direction.
