Energy Usage Data
The usage data in the graphs are based on the 15-minute interval data received nightly from your meter. Due to processing time, there can be a delay in displaying this data. The total usage for a day may not equal the actual daily usage, due to the timing of when the data is received. This interval data is not used for billing purposes at this time.
