Search & Filter Energy Data in Usage Explorer
Use the Usage Explorer to search and filter your data to find exactly what you are looking for.
Select date ranges, intervals, and more with just a few quick selections.
Quick Date Range: Quickly find information based on preselected periods or search a specific date range.
Interval: Choose your data orientation. View in monthly, daily, or 15-minute interval segments.
Type: Members on a time of use rate can see their data broken out into on- and off-peak usage.
Usage Type: View energy (kWh), demand (kW), or both.
Meter: Solar net-meter members will have both a billing meter and a production meter while members without rooftop solar will only have a single meter displayed.
View Usage Data
View your energy usage history in an easy-to-read bar graph. The default display is billing cycle, but you can adjust your search to see history by month, day, or even in 15-minute intervals.
View Time of Use Data
For members on a residential time of use rate, you can view your energy usage broken out into on-peak and off-peak periods. Select "Time of Use" from the Type drop down menu.
- This data can be displayed in either monthly or daily increments.
- Interval data is not available for the time of use display.
- Demand data also cannot be viewed while time of use is selected.
View Demand Data
View your demand (kW) alongside energy (kWh) use data, or view them separately. Usage Explorer will only reflect each new peak demand that has been set for a billing cycle, so you may only see a single spike on the bar graph depending on your consumption.
- Demand can be displayed in either monthly or daily views.
- Daily view will provide the best detail to help determine what is driving your demand.
Demand represents the 15-minute interval with the highest amount of electricity used during that billing month – measured in kilowatts (kW). Learn more about demand.
View Interval Data
View your energy usage in 15-minute intervals. These intervals drive your demand, and viewing by intervals helps you understand exactly which activities or behaviors are having the biggest impact on your energy usage and electric bill.
There are two ways to navigate to this view in the Usage Explorer:
- Click on a month from the chart to see a daily view. Click on any day to see the interval view. You can zoom in even closer using your mouse from the interval view.
- Set your date range (a smaller range will display better) and select "interval" from the Interval menu. Information will autopopulate as you adjust your search, although there may be a slight delay.
